How to play Complex CC

1. Four players get 13 cards each from a 52-card deck. Aces are high, and play goes counter-clockwise, to the right.
2. The player dealt the 7♥ owns the first kingdom. Each later kingdom goes to the next player, so everyone owns one.
3. Each kingdom is a single Complex deal, and its owner leads the first trick.
4. Before the first lead, anyone holding the K♥ or a queen may double it by showing it. The card stays face up until it is played.
5. Follow the led suit if you can; if you can't, play any card. You never have to beat the card on the table, and there is no trump.
6. The highest card of the led suit wins the trick, and the winner leads the next one.
7. After all 13 tricks the penalties are counted. After the 4th kingdom, the highest total wins.

Complex penalties at a glance

• Every trick you take: −15 (all 13 tricks together cost −195).
• The King of Hearts, K♥: −75.
• Each queen: −25 (−100 for all four).
• Each diamond: −10 (−130 for all thirteen).
• The Q♦ counts as a queen and as a diamond: −35.
• Every deal hands out −500 before doubles, so the winner is the player who loses the least.
• A doubled K♥ costs its taker −150, and the doubler gains +75 if another player took it. A doubled queen costs −50 and pays +25. The Q♦'s −10 as a diamond is never doubled.

Tips to win at Complex CC

• Duck with the highest card that still loses, and drop your K♥ or queens under someone else's winning card.
• Short suits are your friends: empty one early, and you can throw penalty cards whenever it is led.
• When you can't follow suit, get rid of the most expensive card first: the K♥, then queens, then high diamonds.
• Only double the K♥ with long hearts or a short side suit to escape through. A queen is safer to double with four or more cards of its suit.
• Don't lead the suit of your own queen or K♥: let the others lead into it.
• In Partner, never throw a penalty card on a trick your partner is winning.
