So, one Saturday afternoon, we were playing Star Trek Top Trumps, like you do, and we thought – it would be great to have a Violet’s Vegan Comics Top Trumps game. I’m sure you can guess the rest but I’m going to tell you anyway 😀 We looked online and, lo and behold, found a wonderful website called Personalised Playing Cards dot com. We were so excited!
For the next two or three weekends we eagerly drew head a shoulder portraits of our story characters – heroes and villains – and then ummed and ahhed about what the categories should be and what score each one should get. We changed them repeatedly, and I’m still not sure we got it right, but then I don’t think the makers of the Star Trek cards did either. I mean – I love Neelix but how can he have a higher ‘To Boldly Go’ score than Spock?!
We had to draw 40 characters from our stories, many of them regulars, some of them only occasional or one-offs, and added their series title to the side.
It was a lot of fun and I wouldn’t be surprised if we make some more cards to add to our pack 😀
Wait – there’s more! 😀
And that’s the lot for now 😀 Why not make some yourself? So much fun! You can either make them yourself on card – cut up an old cereal box or something – or upload your drawings to the Personalised Playing Cards website like we did 😀
If you’d like the pictures of VVC characters we used, just contact us and we’ll email them to you.
