§egment Trix (2020)

§egment Trix, also called Seven Segment Trix, is a trick-taking game where the card ranks are shown in a "seven segment" font, such as that used in digital clocks. The game includes wooden segments that the players can add to cards to adjust their value. The amount of unused segments a player has will determine their bid for the round.

For instance, a segment placed horizontally across a "0" will create an "8". More exotic options are also possible, as three segments placed on a "7", played upside down", can create a "6".

The trick-taking phase uses a "must follow" format, with a fixed trump suit.

At the end of a hand, players will score points if they have taken a number of tricks equal to exactly the amount of unused segments they have leftover. They will score for both the tricks taken as well as segment pieces that were played on cards in those tricks. The game also includes a "misère" scoring option, where a player who takes no tricks and uses all of their segments may also score points.
