A desire to help Afghan children has turned into the launch of a new set of British Army Top Trumps.
The Sunday Times reported yesterday:
"The first British Army version of Top Trumps, one of Britain’s most popular card games, is the brainchild of an army doctor working with the wives of soldiers serving in Afghanistan. The packs go on sale this week with the royalties from each one sold going to help to build schools in Afghanistan............it has taken almost a year to get the MoD licence to use regiments’ names, badges, mottos and photographs. The biggest hurdles were choosing which regiments to include and which criteria to judge them on."
We've managed to get a sneaky peak of one of the cards above. What a cracking idea! Obviously the cards are only just going on sale this week. You can see more on the story behind the cards here. We'll post a link to retailers where the cards are available shortly.
