What is a 'trump'?

Part of the setting of Roger Zelazny's book series "The Chronicles of Amber", and accordingly the Amber Diceless roleplaying game, is that characters will have picture-cards of each other.

These are based on the tarot (the last "t" is silent) deck of playing cards, which precedes common playing cards. Basically it's a picture of someone on fancy playing cards, in a 5th suit that's superiour to the standard 4, a suit of "trumps".

In Amber, characters communicate with each other across the distance of different universes, even in different time-flows, by having trumps representing other characters, and while holding the card can communicate telepathically.

Trumps are Cell Phones.

Yes; drawing trumps of the PCs was often one of the player contributions a more artistic player could take advantage of.

However, I also offered players the chance to make trumps out of printed images, so that the ones who are not artistically-inclined could also have their chance; of course, these had to be well-made and were subject to my approval (but then, so were the drawn trumps).
