I have Donald Trump's Board Game, and because His "Trump Castle" was where Trump Card took Place, I Drew the Trump Card Contestant Podiums, As Well as the Bonus Game Board, and I Put them in my Donald Trump Game Box.
Gosh Donald looks,and sounds so different here, but I looked up this game show(knowing full well it didn't last long but since the game show genre's heating up again, I'm taking the time to find what I can remember and this brief one is one I remember so many years before going "Firing happy" on Apprentice.
If i hosted Trump Card, The Contestant Podiums would have TV Monitors that show the Trump Card Boards, and the Podiums would also have Traditional Game Show Buzzers that everyone can see, Including the Folks at Home.
So, Marc. What happened before the show? Did you meet Mr. Trump in person? Did you acquire any autographs? Did you eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner before you taped? Please tell us.
Donald Trump didn't make any appearances on any show except for a pre-taped handshake with Jimmy Cefalo in the first episode. There was a rumor that he'd show up for the finals, but that never happened.
As for being a contestant...I arrived at 9am and we spent the next four hours in a hotel meeting room with the contestant coordinators and the other contestants. During that time we're sequestered...a production assistant even had to accompany us to the bathroom!
If you mean, where were the buttons, they were on a wooden platform on top of the monitors that displayed our scores. I recall that they were rather hard to press--not soft touch buttons like doorbell buttons, but that they had a pretty distinctive "snap" to them. We didn't have the cord pendant switches like on Jeopardy.
@sfquizkid About the monitors; when there was a head-on shot of the podiums, the game boards looked like CG graphics. Were they actual TV monitors?
Also, what station did this air on in your area, and according to Wikipedia, there was an audience game player with their own Trump Cards. Was that true?
I can answer the first question. Us home viewers can see the CGI boards super-imposed while the people in the studio saw them as they are on the monitors in front of the players. This process for the home viewers is called visual trickery.
There should be a Trump Card Game Show Control.

The tournament made no sense, why would they have to make you play a bonus game for $100,000.

@sfquizkid That's pretty much standard for all game shows. Well, at least you won some money. Should've got the home game too.
