Trix Complex online: how to play, with friends or offline
Trix Complex is the shorter, sharper form of Trix: 8 deals instead of 20. Each kingdom has just two contracts, Complex, where every penalty counts at once, and Trix. Play it alone or with a partner on Majlis, offline against bots or online with friends.

How to play Trix Complex
- The game has four kingdoms with two contracts each, Complex and Trix, and the king of each kingdom picks the order.
- Complex is every penalty at once: the King of Hearts, the Queens, the diamonds and every trick you take all cost points.
- There is no trump in Complex. Follow the suit that was led when you can; the highest card of that suit takes the trick.
- In Complex you may double the King of Hearts and your Queens.
- Trix is the sequence: every suit opens with its Jack and grows one rank at a time in each direction, and the first player to empty their hand scores best.
Scoring and winning
- Complex: King of Hearts −75, each Queen −25, each diamond −10 and each trick −15.
- The Queen of Diamonds counts as a Queen and a diamond: −35.
- Trix: +200, +150, +100 and +50, in the order players empty their hands.
- The highest total after the 8th deal wins.
Trix Complex Partner
The same 8 deals, scores and doubling, but the player opposite you is your partner. Each of you keeps your own score; your team's score is the two added together, and the team with the higher total after the 8th deal wins (an exact tie is a draw).
You never see your partner's cards. In the Trix contract, once everyone has had a first turn, every 2 still in a hand is shown face up.
