Quickfire Rules:

Four players receive an even distribution of cards. Each player bids "high" (black card) or "low" (red card), revealing their bid card sequentially, starting to the dealer's left. The first black card played signifies a "grand," making the round "high" (teams strive for maximum tricks). If all bids are red, the round is "low" (teams aim for minimal tricks).

In a "high" bid round, the player to the right of the "granding" player leads the first trick. In a "low" bid round, the player to the dealer's left leads. Players must follow suit if possible; otherwise, any card may be played. The highest card of the led suit wins the trick, and the winner leads the next trick.

Points are awarded at the round's end based on trick counts. In "high" bids, the "granding" team scores a point for each trick exceeding six. If they fail to reach seven tricks, the opposing team scores 1 or 2 points per trick over six, depending on the "set bonus" setting. In "low" bids, teams score 1 point per trick below seven.
