A brand new edition of Top Trump honours COVID-19 key and essential workers, including plumbers.
The game lauds and applauds those key and essential workers who have saved Britain during the Pandemic… from doctors and nurses to less high-profile professions such as pest controllers, midwives and sea merchants. Politicians, who are depicted on the Top Trumps card by Boris Johnson, and journalists are included too.
One of the four scoring sections in the new game is ‘Unsung Heroes’, and in that category it is the partners of key workers who come out top. In its card citation, Top Trumps points out that being a partner of a key worker is “stressful and worrying”. Claire Simon, Global Marketing Manager at Top Trumps, says: “Every single front-line key worker is, of course, a heroine and hero and would each score 10 (or even 11) out of 10 by any reckoning if we had devised a Hero category.
“By creating an Unsung Heroes category, we have ensured varying marks, in keeping with the game’s core classic and its unique and much-loved branding.”
“From our research, which has been intensively conducted over the six weeks, partners of key workers came out top in this section. There are an estimated one and a half million partners of key workers in Britain so that’s a lot of Unsung Heroes and Heroines.
“Many of the public we spoke to pointed out that partners too are putting their lives on the line, albeit less directly. As well as being there physically they are providing emotional support. For that reason we listed partners as key workers.”
