Top Trumps was a little too easy for all of my friends. The themes were cool. I played Harry Potter with the J.K. Rowling fans and Star Wars with my Jedi pals, but the concept was just a little blah. You get a hand of cards and pick a stat off of the top one and hope you have the highest one. It's basically all luck. The cards do have fun facts on them, and would be great for kids. Not even much of a filler game for more experienced gamers though. I don't think I will ever play them again.

While Top Trumps was a bust I loved Lexicon GO! I have never been a fan of fast paced games, and Lexicon GO requires a bit of speed and dexterity which I am not very skilled in... but I did really well. I liked it more than I expected and have played many times with many people since receiving my copy of it.
I love that it comes in a little travel case. The tile quality is great. I love the tactile sensation of placing and moving the tiles. Game play is simple. There are two versions to play. Lexicon GO! the fast way, or regular Lexicon which is slower and great for kids to learn spelling and gaming.

Both games are great for kids, but it you want something more challenging, I would go with Lexicon GO!
