A
RuneScape Top Trumps card.
RuneScape Top Trumps is a type of real-life card game released by Jagex in partnership with Winning Moves.
Generally, in Top Trumps, each card contains a list of numerical data, and the aim of the game is to compare these values in order to try to trump and win an opponent's card. In RuneScape Top Trumps, these values are Height, Combat level, Age, Quest Factor and Years in RuneScape. There is also an added optional rule: each card has combat style - either Melee, Ranged or Magic - and when two cards share the same top value, the card with the superior style (as dictated by the combat triangle) beats the other card.
The cards with the highest values in each category are:
- Height: Queen Black Dragon - 100m
- Combat level: Vanescula Drakan - 424
- Age: Dragonkin - 18,000 years
- Quest factor: Yelps - 20
- Years in RuneScape: Goblin & Imp - 13
Monsters of RuneScape was the first set of Top Trumps cards released. It is themed around the monsters of RuneScape, containing a total of 30, although other characters such as Yelps and Moia also appear. It was released on 12 December 2013, at a price of GB£5.99, US$10.00, or 3 Bonds, costing 73,416,183. Packs can be purchased from backstreetmerch.com, or with Bonds by following the instructions on the Top Trumps page on the RuneScape website. A pack was also given to each Runefest 2014 attendee.
15 character cards were selected by the RuneScape Team, while the remaining 15 cards were chosen by the RuneScape community. From 26 October to 8 November 2013, Jagex conducted polls in the official website to determine the 15 monsters to be featured.

|
| Goblins are widely misunderstood. It's true that they're of limited intellect, scant courage and they are unable to agree even on the colour of their armour, but their race has produced cunning war chiefs, explosively inventive chefs and plentiful cannon fodder for the armies of Bandos.

| Moia is the daughter of Lucien, a Mahjarrat, and an unknown human partner. This has cast her as something of an outsider, as the Mahjarrat consider her weak, and humans fear her. But Zamorak - god of chaos - has seen her potential, and charged her with being general of his armies.

| Description
|
| Often legless and rarely armed. Rabid Jack is the leader of the pirate zombies, and any zombie who fails him dies (again), gangplank-style. This makes the life (or un-life) of a pirate zombie relatively short, so there's always demand for more zombies in Rabid Jack's ranks.
|
- Despite that imps use only melee, their combat style is stated as magic. Commander Zilyana uses magic and melee, but the card states her combat style as ranged.
- The Chaos Elemental's message comes from Chaos Elemental Note 14, and decodes into "There will come a time when the Empty One returns, aiming to take the Stone and confirming himself as an Elder God."
- Commander Zilyana would have to be over 3069 years old to be alive during the battle of Annakarl, in 3100 of the Third Age, rather than 2500 as stated on her card, though that may not include the time she spent frozen in ice.
