Greggs launches limited-edition Top Trumps card game for Christmas
High stakes meet Steak Bakes this Christmas as Greggs announces a partnership with Top Trumps, launching a limited-edition Greggs version of the nostalgic card game.
For the first time, fans can play a new version of the classic game featuring tasty items from bakes to doughnuts, pizza to sandwiches, and beyond from the Greggs menu, just in time for Christmas.
With 30 mouth-watering play cards from the iconic Greggs menu, each card is scored across five categories, including Fame, Mouthfuls, Socials Score, Flake Factor, and an overall Top Trumps Rating.
Of course, there can only be one item crowned the ‘Top Trump,’ and with a perfect score of 100, the Sausage Roll is set to send players to victory! Elsewhere in the pack, the Sausage Roll’s counterpart, the Vegan Sausage Roll, has been named the official ‘mind-blower’ card after its explosive launch back in 2019—a history-making moment when the brand labelled the popular menu item as ‘the next generation of Sausage Roll.’
The goal of Top Trumps, which has been around for over 50 years, is to win the most rounds by having the highest-scoring card in each round. Sold across the world and in over 20 languages, there are hundreds of topics, including special editions from Disney, Marvel, and Hello Kitty.
Priced at just £9, up to 10,000 Greggs packs will be available to buy online from 10am on Friday, 29th November.
To ‘landmark’ the launch, a giant House of Cards has been constructed on Newcastle’s Quayside, made from 6ft versions of the playing cards. Situated under the shadow of the iconic Tyne Bridge at Newcastle Quayside Garden, commuters and early risers were equally intrigued by the towering 13ft installation earlier this morning.
As an additional early Christmas present for Geordies, Greggs fans will be able to grab a free Festive Bake, Vegan Festive Bake, Sausage Roll, or Sweet Mince Pie alongside a festive hot drink between 10am-5pm today (Tuesday, 26th November) as a Greggs double-decker bus serves up freshly baked treats.
Tomorrow (Wednesday, 27th November), alongside the festive menu, there will be 500 packs of Greggs Top Trumps available completely free of charge between 10am-5pm on a first-come, first-served basis, ahead of the stocking filler going on sale this Friday.
If a pack of limited-edition Greggs Top Trumps wasn’t enough, there will also be five coveted gold rare cards celebrating Greggs’ much-loved ‘secret menu’ of regional and seasonal delights. Featuring north-east favourites such as the Cheese & Onion Stottie and Peach Melba, the south’s beloved Tottenham Cake, Scotland’s Haggis Pie, and of course the ultimate festive treat—the Festive Bake. Those lucky enough to grab a Top Trumps pack from the House of Cards will also receive one of these sought-after rare cards.
The highly anticipated launch follows previous merchandise ranges, including the Greggs x Primark partnership, which saw Greggs Christmas Jumpers sell out almost instantly.
For those who don’t manage to grab a free pack this Wednesday, fans can bag one of 10,000 packs going on sale this Friday, 29th November, for just £9, with some lucky fans receiving an exclusive rare card with their purchase.
