Trix Calculator is a free, easy-to-use tool designed to help you track scores during your Trix (تركس / تريكس) card games. No more paper scorecards, mental math, or disputes about who's winning - our calculator handles everything automatically!
Whether you're playing with friends at home or in a tournament setting, this guide will walk you through every feature of the calculator so you can focus on playing and having fun.
Step 1: Choose Your Game Type
When you first open the calculator, you'll see three game type options:
- Normal: Play all five kingdoms (Collections, Diamonds, Queens, King of Hearts, and Trix) in sequence
- Complex: A combined kingdom that includes Diamonds, Queens, King of Hearts, and Collections all in one round
Tip: If you're new to Trix, start with 'Normal' mode to experience all five kingdoms separately.
Step 2: Select Play Style
Choose how you want to play:
- Individual: Every player for themselves - perfect for competitive games
- Playing in Partners Mode
Step 3: Enter Player Names
Click 'Continue' and you'll be prompted to enter names for all players. You can use real names, nicknames, or even fun aliases!
Note: In partners mode, the scoreboard will display team scores instead of individual scores.
Step 4: Start Playing
Once you've entered all player names, click 'Start Game' and you're ready to begin tracking scores!

After starting your game, you'll see the scoreboard with all players at 0 points. The calculator will guide you through each kingdom one by one.
Selecting a Kingdom
Click on any available kingdom button to start entering scores for that round. The kingdoms are:
- Collections: Track how many tricks each player won
- Diamonds: Record which diamond cards each player collected
- Queens: Assign which Queens each player took
- King of Hearts: Indicate who took the King of Hearts
- Trix: Enter the number of tricks each player won to determine ranking
Kingdom-Specific Input Methods
Collections
Use the number input to enter how many tricks (0-13) each player won. The calculator automatically calculates -15 points per trick.
Diamonds
Click on the diamond cards each player collected. Each diamond is worth -10 points. You can select multiple diamonds per player.
Queens
Click on the Queen cards (♠ ♥ ♦ ♣) each player took. Each Queen is worth -25 points. You can also enable 'Doubling' if you're playing with that rule.
King of Hearts
Simply click on the player who took the King of Hearts. They'll receive -75 points (or -150 if doubled).
Trix
Domino your cards starting from the Jack. The calculator automatically assigns points to players based on rank entered: 1st place (+200), 2nd place (+150), 3rd place (+100), 4th place (+50).
Submitting Scores
After entering all data for a kingdom, click the 'Submit' button. Scores will be automatically calculated and added to the scoreboard. The completed kingdom will be marked with a checkmark.
The scoreboard is the heart of the calculator. Here's what you'll see:
- Player Names: Listed in the order you entered them
- Current Scores: Updated automatically after each kingdom
- Kingdom Status: Completed kingdoms show a checkmark, available kingdoms are clickable
- Score History: See how scores changed after each kingdom
- Leader Indicator: The player or team with the highest score is highlighted
Pro Tip:
You can play kingdoms in any order! If you want to save Trix for last (since it's the only kingdom where you can earn positive points), just skip it and come back to it later.

Partners mode is designed for team play. Here's what makes it different from individual mode:
- Team Scoreboard: Instead of four individual scores, you'll see two team scores (Team 1 and Team 2)
- Simplified Input: For Diamonds and Collections, you only need to enter one team's score - the other team's score is calculated automatically
- Combined Scores: All points earned or lost by team members are added together
- Team Strategy: Partners can work together to minimize negative points and maximize positive points
Example: In Diamonds, if Team 1 collected eight diamonds, Team 2 automatically has 5 diamonds (since there are 13 total). The calculator handles this math for you!
Once all kingdoms are completed, the calculator will automatically display a final results screen with:
- Winner Announcement: The player or team with the highest score is crowned the winner!
- Final Scores: Complete breakdown of all player/team scores
- Share Results: Click the 'Share Results' button to capture and share a screenshot of your final scoreboard with friends
- Play Again: Start a new game with the same or different settings
Sharing Your Victory:
The share feature creates a beautiful image of your final scores that you can post on social media or send to friends. Perfect for bragging rights!
- Double-Check Entries: Before submitting a kingdom, review all inputs to ensure accuracy
- Use Back Button Carefully: If you need to go back, be aware it may reset your current progress
- Play Kingdoms Strategically: You don't have to play kingdoms in order - save Trix for when you need those positive points!
- Keep Your Device Charged: Make sure your phone or tablet has enough battery for the entire game
- Bookmark the Site: Add Trix Calculator to your home screen for quick access
- Works Offline: Once loaded, the calculator works without an internet connection
