Quickfire Rules:
After dealing the cards evenly among four players, each bids either high (black card) or low (red card). Bids are revealed one by one starting left of the dealer. The first black card turned over signifies a 'high' round, where teams aim to win as many tricks as possible. If all bid cards are red, it's a 'low' round, 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 follow suit if possible; otherwise, they can play any card. The highest card in the led suit wins the trick, and the winner leads the next trick.
At the end of the round, points are scored based on the number of tricks each partnership collects. In high bids, 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 low bids, teams score one point for each trick under seven.
