Trump was a glossy magazine of satire and erotic humor, mostly in the forms of comic-strip features and short stories. It was edited by Harvey Kurtzman and published by Hugh Hefner, with only two issues produced in 1957. As those credits imply, Trump was a cross between Playboy and the early MAD Magazine. Its symbol was the Playboy Rabbit posing as a trumpeter or herald in the style of Alice in Wonderland.

In card games, trumps frequently figure in trick-taking games such as bridge, euchre, and hearts.

Trumps are cards which rank above non-trump cards, and which automatically prevail over them unless a higher trump is played. In most such games, trump cards cannot be played if the player can follow suit to the card led in the trick; in a few, trumps can be played at any time. The "Major Arcana" of the Tarot cards were originally used as a permanent suit of trumps in the game of tarocchi or tarock.
