Quickfire Rules:
After dealing the cards evenly among four players, each player bids either high (black card) or low (red card). The bid cards are revealed one by one, starting left of the dealer. If a black card appears first, 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 cards are red, the round is 'low,' and teams strive to win as few tricks as possible.
In a high bid round, the player to the right of the 'grander' (the first to bid black) leads the first trick. In a low bid round, the player to the left of the dealer starts. Players 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.
Scoring occurs at the end of each round. 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 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.
