Quickfire Rules:
After the cards are dealt evenly between four players, each player bids either high (a black card), or low (a red card). Each bid card is revealed one by one starting left of the dealer. The player who bid the first black card turned over is said to have 'granded' and the round is played 'high' (teams try to win as many tricks as possible). No other cards are turned over after the first black card. If all of the bid cards are red, the game is played 'low' (teams try to win as few tricks as possible).

In a high bid round, the player to the right of the player who granded leads the first trick. In a low bid round, the player to the left of the dealer leads the first trick. Each player then plays one card in turn, following suit if they can. If they cannot follow suit, they may play any other card in their hand. The player who plays the highest card matching the suit of the led card in the trick wins the trick. The player who wins the previous trick leads the next trick.

At the end of each round, points are scored by the number of tricks each partnership has collected. In a high bid round, a point is awarded to the team who granded for every trick taken over 6. If the team who granded fail to make 7 tricks, the other team are awarded either 1 or 2 points per trick taken over 6 depending on the 'set bonus' setting. In a low bid round, a team is awarded 1 point per trick taken less than 7.
