Quickfire Rules:

After dealing the cards evenly among four players, each player bids either high (with a black card) or low (with a red card). The bids are revealed one by one, starting left of the dealer. If a black card is turned over first, the round is played 'high,' and teams aim to win as many tricks as possible. No further cards are turned over after the first black card. If all bids are red, the game is played 'low,' and teams strive to win as few tricks as possible.

In a high bid round, the player to the right of the one who 'granded' leads the first trick. In a low bid round, the player to the left of the dealer starts. Players must follow suit if possible; otherwise, they can play any card. The highest card of the led suit wins the trick, and the winner leads the next trick.

At the end of each round, points are awarded based on the number of tricks each partnership collects. In a high bid round, the team that granded earns a point for every trick over six. If they fail to reach seven tricks, the opposing team scores one or two points per trick over six, depending on the 'set bonus' setting. In a low bid round, teams earn a point for each trick under seven.
