Weird Crushes – British Hunks

Weird Crushes - British Hunks is a celebration of those weird celebrity crushes we’ve all got hidden away. Those guilty pleasures that are usually shut down with a disgusted “Wait, what? Really?!” Suffice to say, you’ll never find a more geeky, awkward or dentally challenged version of top trumps.

We’ll assume most people know how to play top trumps. But for those that don’t… players take turns to pit one of their British hunks against those of their opponents. We’ve rated these guilty pleasures out of 10 for sex appeal, charisma, style, likeability and fame. So, make sure you pick a category that one of your hunks scores highly in.

For example, Boris Johnson isn’t a stylish man, so you’re hardly gonna win in that category with that scruffy-haired buffoon. Ed Sheeran on the other hand… he wears his scruffy hair so much better. So he’s much more likely to trump the competition in that category. If your bizarre beau manages to outscore the rest, you collect all the cards from that round. Hooray! It’s then your turn to name a new category of judgement and put another one of your rough diamonds against the best of the rest.

The game ends when one player has all the cards (if you get that far). That player is crowned the winner.

It’s highly likely, though, that you’ll get sidetracked with the heated debates that’ll inevitably arise from playing this game. Whilst we’ve taken every precaution to be as objective as possible, bias when it comes to these hunks is unavoidable. So, if you disagree with a score given to one of these far-out fancies, just try to remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And no guy is worth more than your friendship(s)…

Weird Crushes - British Hunks is a strangely sexy take on the classic top trumps card game. Play it. Enjoy it. But don’t blame us if/when you fall out with your mates.
