Along with this success has come the inevitable kiddy-merchandising push. If you're young enough not to remember Sylvester McCoy's stint as the great Time Lord it's likely you either own or intend to swap your shoes for a piece of Who-themed tat.

The key card was the Silver Surfer, whose 10 for Special Powers was unbeatable. He was blessed with decent Physical Strength, too, so selecting Weapons was your only way of defeating him. Then you had the anomaly of Galactus's Strength being only 8, while the Hulk's was 9. This effectively meant that despite Galactus being capable of destroying the planet that Hulk was standing on, he wouldn't be able to beat the angry green guy in an arm wrestle.

There are no super-cards here – even puny Martha Jones can defeat a mighty Cyberman if you select the right attribute. Rather, any unfair advantage comes via the game's Ability Cards. These are single use power cards that temporarily enhance your chances of success. Further adding to the concept are bonus levels between rounds, which comprise simple memory tests.
