And we have the same issue. Haven’t found a good replacement term yet.

Or you good replace trump with a nice word that mean the opposite of trump like peace, love, freedom, kind, smart, Obama, etc.

If that's too close to "lead" or "led" which may come up often depending on the game, perhaps "winner" would suffice.

Or "Dom" as in dominate. That might be too close to "Don" though.

"Pref" short for preference. Or "Prec" (pronounced press) for precedence.

Leverage or "Lev"
Favor or favorite
Eminence
Edge

Keep the word "trump" in the card games, and get a substitute for the cretin in the White House.

Just a passing thought.........

There is no confusion. We all know what it means.

"Madge, it's your play. Hearts are that fucking asshole."
