Trump Card is an American syndicated game show that aired from September 10, 1990, to May 24, 1991, hosted by Jimmy Cefalo.
It was based on the British game show Bob's Full House, which consisted of contestants trying to answer questions to fill up a 15-square bingo board.
The host read a toss-up question; if a contestant buzzed-in with the correct answer, the number in one corner of his/her card was filled in and he/she chose the next category.
After giving a correct answer, a contestant could play their Trump Card at any time during the match to impede the progress of one of his/her opponents.
Gameplay proceeded as in the first round, but every correct answer now filled in a number on the middle row of the contestant's card.
The final round consisted of rapid-fire general knowledge questions, and each correct answer filled in one of the remaining numbers on the contestant's card.
The champion then had 45 seconds to complete a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line of five spaces by answering general knowledge questions.
When a contestant answered a question correctly and filled in a number, audience members marked it off on their cards as well.
Trump Card ended its run with a tournament of champions played for a potential top prize of $100,000 in cash.
The tournament took place over ten episodes spanning two weeks and featured twenty-one bonus round winners.
After choosing the packet and his/her free space(s), the round was played as it normally would be; the only difference was that if the tournament winner successfully completed it, he/she won $100,000.
