Quickfire Rules:
After dealing the cards evenly among four players, each player bids either high (using a black card) or low (using a 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, where teams aim to win as few tricks as possible.
In a high bid round, the player to the right of the 'grander' leads the first trick. In a low bid round, the player to the left of the dealer leads. Players must follow suit if possible, and the highest card of the led suit wins the trick. The winner of the trick leads the next one.
Scoring at the end of each round depends on the bid type. In a high bid round, the 'grand' team earns a point for each trick over six, while the opposing team scores one or two points per trick over six if the 'grand' team fails to reach seven tricks, depending on the 'set bonus' setting. In a low bid round, teams earn one point for each trick under seven.
