Trix score calculator
Trix has five contracts, four kingdoms and twenty deals: a lot of arithmetic for one evening. Pick the contract, say who took what, and the sheet works out every player's points, a doubled King of Hearts or queen included. It tracks the deal and the kingdom, greys out the contracts already played in the current kingdom, and names the winner after the twentieth deal. The scoring is the Qahwa app's classic Trix.
The calculator needs JavaScript switched on. The scoring rules are all explained below.

How the scoring works
The five contracts
- King of Hearts: -75 for whoever takes it.
- Queens: -25 for each queen you take (-100 in all).
- Diamonds: -10 for each diamond you take (-130 in all).
- Collections (Ltoosh): -15 for each trick you take (-195 in all).
- Trix: the first player out scores 200, then 150, 100 and 50.
Each kingdom is five deals: its owner chooses the contract every deal and plays each one exactly once. A kingdom hands out -500 in penalties and +500 in Trix, so the four scores always add up to zero.
Doubling
After King or Queens is chosen, a player holding the King of Hearts or a queen may double it by showing it.
- Someone else takes the doubled card: the taker loses double (-150 for the King, -50 for a queen) and the doubler wins its value (+75 or +25).
- The doubler takes their own card on someone else's lead: the doubler loses double, and the player who led that trick wins its value.
- The doubler leads the doubled card and it wins the trick: only the normal penalty counts.
In the calculator, choose who took each card and who doubled it; when they are the same player, it asks who led that trick.
Using the sheet
Type the four names. For each deal choose the contract and fill in who took what: the taker of the King or of each queen, the number of diamonds or tricks for each player (they must add up to 13), or the finishing order in Trix. Check the points shown and tap Add deal. After deal 20 the highest total wins; tied players share the win.

Questions
How is Trix scored?
King of Hearts -75, each queen -25, each diamond -10, each trick in Collections -15, and in Trix 200, 150, 100 and 50 in finishing order. Each kingdom adds up to zero.
How many deals are in a game of Trix?
Twenty: four kingdoms of five deals, one kingdom per player. The highest score after deal 20 wins.
What does doubling the King of Hearts do?
If someone else takes it, they lose 150 instead of 75, and the player who doubled it wins 75.
What is Ltoosh in Trix?
Ltoosh, or Collections, is the contract where every trick you take costs 15 points. All 13 tricks are played.
Does it work for Trix Partners or Trix Complex?
The sheet scores classic Trix for four players. For Trix Partners, add the two partners' totals together. Trix Complex plays all four penalties in one deal and is not covered here.
