It's a rather bad set up for dueling.

Oh, please don't turn into an obsession for little kids like every other card game...

Artwork is good but kind of expected...but the tormented demon looks hawt

It's like a generic, cheap game of War.

Trust me, their form of "dueling" is horrible. Take a look, I slammed my head on the desk when I read it.

The graphics on them are very impressive as with most of JaGeX's new artwork but it seems a bit odd to only release ten. Top Trumps is only really effective when you have a large number of cards

Oh. My. God.
I looked at the cards, not bad graphics wise, but...Oh My God!
Didn't they make a rule where people below 13 couldn't play? Lol.
This event is an all-time new low for Runescape.

At what point did Top Trumps become something for those under 13 only?
...though I agree with Doddsy that 'twould be better if there were more than 10 cards - that's about what, a 90 second game?

(or do I play too quickly) ...or are there soon to be a couple of updates each with a dozen epic monsters in to make a bigger set?

...seems like
K'ril needed to be flipped to fit properly.

...the artist is the same person who made the Evil Tree wallpaper.

It's time to d-d-d-d-duel.
It's what we all heard in our heads when we read the title ...

Anyways, I really love the artwork on these cards. I highly doubt I'd eve play the game but I simply love the artwork. Only thing that seems a bit off is the placement of Zilyana her wings. They seem to be placed a bit too low.

Corporeal Beast, I choose you!

I doubt i'd ever actually play the game (i'm long past getting enjoyment from Top Trump-type games) but I agree that the Artwork is awesome

Please visit the commuter lounge at my college and say that to them. They all play Magic, including the girls.

How am I supposed to print them off.

EDIT: Ohh, I see now. I need to copy and paste them into Paint, crop them, copy and paste them into Word, then print them seperately.

If anyone says Jagex is doing this to bring in more profit, their logic is obviously broken.
I highly doubt anyone will even care about this stuff. It's hard to bring in profit when your attempts to put merchandise like this on the market make you look like a fool, even to your fans.

Anybody want to place a bet?

I'll get a warn purposely if you don't.

(get bruises)
I pray that Runescape is not going to spin-off into a card series. When I saw this I had the most disgusted look on my face and said "Are there any updates that aren't garbage?"

Point is: Wow, Jagex. You really suck. I used to think that the new graphics was the worst thing ever to happen to RuneScape, but now this has to be the ABSOLUTE WORST. What teenager is going to play with these? "Omfg nub stfu my kree'ara so owns your jad go get a lyfe pl0x"

That's a fairly safe assumption, considering they're offered for
free to
print off their website.
I find it funny that some people still complain about the graphics update. You can still play with awful graphics, so why is a passable graphics option so horrible?
NO CHANGE! I HATE IT!

It's nothing like Pokemon.
It's a top trumps game.
But, oh well, what can you expect for a free printable?
Took them to school, only got beaten up once ftw, and I had a few games with my friend when I was waiting for my bus to arrive.
It's incredibly one-sided. Basically, whoever gets The Inadequacy loses.

You have GOT to be kidding me. Chicken sandwiches taste terrible.
