Trix
Five contracts per Kingdom, twenty deals to win
Trix is a card game for four players, each playing for himself. A match has four Kingdoms, and in each Kingdom the owner chooses the order of five contracts: K♥, Queens, Diamonds, Ltoosh, then Trix.
Four contracts are trick-based with negative penalties, while the Trix contract is a card layout that awards positive points to whoever empties his hand first. The highest total after twenty deals wins.
