How to play Trix

1. Four players, 13 cards each from a 52-card deck. Aces are high, and play passes to the right.
2. Whoever holds the 7♥ in the first deal owns the first kingdom. The next kingdoms pass to the right, so everyone owns one.
3. The owner looks at the new hand, then picks a contract not played yet in this kingdom. Each kingdom plays all five, one per deal.
4. In the trick contracts the owner leads. Follow the led suit if you can; if you can't, play any card. There is no trump, and you never have to beat the card on the table.
5. The highest card of the led suit takes the trick, and its winner leads the next one.
6. In King of Hearts and Queens, a player holding the K♥ or a queen may double it by showing it before the first lead.
7. In Trix there are no tricks: lay cards in rows that start from the jacks, and try to be first to empty your hand.
8. After 4 kingdoms and 20 deals, the highest total wins.

Trix contracts and scoring

• King of Hearts: −75 for taking the K♥. The deal ends as soon as it is taken.
• Queens: −25 for each queen. The deal ends when all four are taken.
• Diamonds: −10 for each diamond. The deal ends when all 13 are taken.
• Ltoosh: −15 for each trick you take, over all 13 tricks.
• Trix: each suit's row starts with its jack and grows up to the ace and down to the 2. Lay one card a turn, and you must lay if you can. First out +200, second +150, third +100, last +50.
• Doubling: whoever takes a doubled card loses double, −150 for the K♥ and −50 for a queen. If an opponent takes it, the player who doubled gains +75 or +25.
• Without doubles, every kingdom adds up to 0: −500 in penalties and +500 in Trix.

Tips to win at Trix

• Pick the contract your hand suits best. A hand full of jacks and middle cards is made for Trix; a K♥ guarded by long hearts is made for King of Hearts.
• Double the K♥ only with long hearts or a short side suit: you want to be able to throw it away, never to be forced to take it.
• Duck with the highest card that still loses, and drop penalty cards under someone else's winner, like the K♥ under the A♥.
• Lead your short suits early to make voids. Once you are void, throw your most expensive card first.
• In Trix, hold the card that blocks a long run of other players' cards, and open the runs that are mostly your own.
• In Partner, never throw a penalty card on a trick your partner is winning.
