Trix: goal and players
Play Trix online on JAWNA at jawna.app. Check the goal and supported player counts before inviting your group. Read the rules even if you know the game: familiar names can have different variants, and your usual house rules may differ from the selected version.
Supported table sizes: 4 players. Choose a player count in the game settings. In partner variants, check seats and teams first. In individual formats, each player competes for their own result. The in-game How to play screen provides details. Agree on the variant before your first round together.
How to play: rules
- Four players, each for themselves (or partners opposite). Four kingdoms of five contracts: 20 deals.
- Whoever holds the 7 of hearts owns the first kingdom; then it passes to the next player. The owner picks a contract not yet played in the kingdom and leads.
- In King of hearts, Queens, Diamonds, Collections and Complex, follow the led suit when you can; otherwise play any card. The highest card of the led suit wins. King of hearts −75, Queens −25 each, Diamonds −10 each, Collections −15 per trick.
- Doubling: holding the King of hearts or a queen, you may double it before play. Its taker loses double and you gain its value (unless you take it yourself).
- Trix: build each suit from its Jack up to the Ace and down to the 2. Play a Jack or a card next to one on the table; pass only when you can’t. First out 200, then 150, 100, 50.
- Highest total after 20 deals wins.

Tips and strategy
In penalty contracts, track which suits each player has exhausted before leading a high card. Emptying a suit may let you discard a penalty later, but forcing that plan can cost a trick now. In the sequence contract, consider whose cards your play unlocks. Opening a new run can help opponents more than you. A plan for avoiding penalty cards is different from a plan for finishing a sequence.

Trix Complex online: what changes?
Regular Trix separates King of Hearts, Queens, Diamonds and tricks into contracts; Complex combines their penalties in one contract. You still follow suit when possible; these contracts have no trump. One Complex trick can contain several penalty types, so count all its cards when assessing risk. Select the table mode instead of assuming every local Trix name uses identical scoring.

History & origins
Trix, also written Trex, is a Levantine compendium game documented in Lebanon and Kuwait.
It combines several contracts in one match: avoiding different penalty cards or tricks, then a sequence-building contract.
Choosing contracts creates the familiar kingdoms structure. Its history is that of a regional collection of card-game ideas, not a securely dated invention by one person.
