Techno Top Trumps - Part 1

[grobelaar]

Does anyone remember the Top Trumps card games - you got a pack cards with race cars, jet planes, football stars etc. Each pack had a different theme and you played a simple game where players compared stats - to see who would win?

Well I've wanted to techno top trumps for ages and have decided to do it - however I thought I'd consult with you lot so I don't miss any tricks...

First part is what stats should be listed under each techno personality... My thoughts are - first two are just info...

Name:
Home:
No Releases
Debut:
Hard (1-5 stars)
Funk (1-5 stars)
Weird/Experimental (1-5 stars)
Hair (1-5 stars)
Showmanship (1-5 stars)
Superstar (1-5 stars)
Underground, innit (1-5 stars)

So if anyone can think of any other categories let me know, remember its got to apply across board and not be too obscure and try to keep it positive, although maybe we could have a primadonna category (although it'd largely be heresay...)

Cheers

some years ago, there was such a card game in germany. featured djs like sven väth and marusha, if i recall right. don´t know who else, to be honest. one of the categories was "number of vinyls in collection"... no comment...

what about 'Variety of Styles'? should be a criteria.

also 'Signs of Drug Abuse' pops up. this could be joker. ;)

does hair count for facial as well as top of head?

if so, Weatherall should get a 6 after his fantastic lip warmer on NYE

[Loz]

oh, and you forgot 'Sell-out'

required for the Mobys of this world

i know there is/was a x-mix card game.

Yeah, yeah it doesn't matter if there was one before! So get your suggestions for categories in now - remember it has to have a numerical value so that you can play them off against each other.

I was going to avoid the drug abuse - personally it could be contentious and I don't really like glamourising/drawing attention to recreational drug use (this isn't to say that I haven't done in the past - but people change and so have I.
