overruffed
Beat their trump
Overruffed is the past tense of overruff, a card game term meaning to trump a trick with a higher trump card after another player has already trumped it.
The move occurs when you're void in the led suit and hold a trump that beats the trump already played: She overruffed her opponent's jack with the queen of spades.
Common in bridge and whist.
