Quickfire Rules:

After dealing the cards evenly among four players, each player bids either high (with a black card) or low (with a red card). Bids are revealed starting from the left of the dealer. If a black card is turned over first, the round is played 'high,' where teams aim to win as many tricks as possible. No further cards are turned after the first black card. If all bids are red, the game is played 'low,' where teams aim 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 must follow suit if possible; otherwise, they can play any card. The trick is won by the highest card of the led suit. The winner of each trick leads the next.

At the round's end, points are scored based on the tricks collected by each partnership. In high bid rounds, the 'granded' team earns a point for each trick over six. If they fail to reach seven tricks, the opposing team scores either one or two points per trick over six, depending on the 'set bonus' setting. In low bid rounds, teams earn a point for each trick under seven.
