Terraria Top Trumps (Easy Mode Starter Deck)

This week Seb decided he wanted to make a Top Trumps set for Terraria.  We'd done one before for Slime Rancher, so this isn't our first foray into the world of Top Trumps.

There have to be either 30 or 32 cards in a proper Top Trumps deck, so we needed to make sure we had that number in our starter deck.  Also, you have to have 5 stats on each card.  We picked "number of drops", "HP", "damage", "defence" and "coins" (that last one is how much money they drop on death).

Then we made a spreadsheet of all the enemies in Terraria Easy Mode (not bosses) and copied the five stats from the Terraria wiki.  This ridiculous use of our time resulted in the following:

Seb went through this list and picked the 32 he wanted (the rest might get to be an expansion deck).  These are highlighted in yellow.  Then he got me to draw out the cards and he coloured them in.  We added a little bit in the middle which said what sort of enemy they were and what biome(s) you found them in, which I kind of colour coded.

We made an image for the backs of the cards, using a picture off of the internet and the Terraria font (which is called Andy), and printed off 32 copies.  After gluing them onto the backs of the cards we started laminating!  Then cutting.  And finally - ta da! - the cards are done.

We're pretty happy with them.  And it kept us occupied for a bit.  ;-)

Seb was trying to get me to work out my Top 20 video games of all time, and I narrowed it down to 20... but it was too hard to put them into...
