A trump is a playing card which is elevated above its normal rank in trick-taking games.

Description

Typically an entire suit is nominated as a trump suit - these cards then outrank all cards of plain (non-trump) suits.

Other uses

In other contexts, the term trump card can refer to any sort of action, authority, or policy which automatically prevails over all others.
