Quickfire Rules:

After dealing cards evenly among four players, each player bids either high (black card) or low (red card). Bids are revealed starting left of the dealer. The first black card turned over 'grands' the round, setting it to 'high' where teams aim to win as many tricks as possible. If all bids are red, the round goes 'low', with teams trying 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 round's end, points are calculated based on tricks won. In a high bid round, the granding team 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. In a low bid round, teams score one point for each trick under seven.
