Playing cards; a deck of cards used for card games.

A loanword noun from English 'trump' (a winning card), used in Japanese to refer to playing cards in general — not just trump cards. Common expressions: トランプで遊ぶ (toranpu de asobu, to play cards), トランプゲーム (toranpu geemu, card game). The English term 'playing cards' would not be understood; トランプ is the standard Japanese word.
