The key workers edition features partners of front-line key workers.
Claire Simon, from Top Trumps, said: "Every single frontline key worker is, of course, a heroine and hero and would each score 10 (or even 11) out of 10 by any reckoning if we had devised a hero category.
"By creating an Unsung Heroes category we have ensured varying marks, in keeping with the game's core classic and its unique and much-loved branding.
"From our research, which has been intensively conducted over the six weeks, partners of key workers came out top in this section.
"There are an estimated one and a half million partners of key workers in Britain, so that’s a lot of unsung heroes and heroines.
"Many of the public we spoke to pointed out that partners too are putting their lives on the line, albeit less directly.
"As well as being there physically they are providing emotional support. For that reason we listed partners as key workers."
