Quickfire Rules:
After dealing the cards evenly among four players, each player bids either high (black card) or low (red card). The bids are revealed starting left of the dealer. If a black card is turned over first, the round is played 'high,' with teams aiming to win as many tricks as possible. If all bids are red, the game is played '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' (bid first black card) 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.
Scoring at the end of each round depends on the bid type. In a high bid, 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, teams score one point for each trick under seven.
