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 bid cards are revealed sequentially starting from the player to the left of the dealer. If a black card is turned over first, the player who played it has 'granded,' and the round is played 'high,' with teams aiming to win as many tricks as possible. No further cards are turned over after the first black card. If all bid cards are red, the game is played 'low,' where teams aim 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; if not, they can play any card. The trick is won by the highest card of the led suit. The winner of the trick leads the next one.
At the end of each round, points are scored based on the number of tricks collected by each partnership. In a high bid round, the granding team earns a point for each trick over six. If they fail to reach seven tricks, the opposing team earns either one or two points per trick over six, depending on the 'set bonus' setting. In a low bid round, a team earns one point for each trick under seven.
