Outsmart your AI partner’s opponents in fast-paced rounds, ideal for learning and mastering trick-taking games. Increase the difficulty to "hard" mode once you're ready for a true test of skill! Victory requires collaborative strategy with your AI partner to reach the win target (either 13 or 7 tricks).

Quickfire Rules:
Four players receive an equal number of cards. Each player bids "high" (black card) or "low" (red card), revealing their bid cards sequentially, starting to the dealer's left. The first player to reveal a black card "grands," and the round becomes a "high" bid (teams strive for maximum tricks). If all bids are red, the round is "low" (teams aim for minimal tricks).
In "high" bid rounds, the player to the right of the "granding" player leads the first trick. In "low" bid rounds, the player to the left of the dealer leads. Players follow suit if possible; otherwise, they play any card. The highest card of the led suit wins the trick. The trick winner leads the next trick.
Scoring: In "high" bid rounds, the "granding" team earns a point for each trick over six. If they fail to reach seven tricks, the opposing team earns one or two points per trick over six, depending on the "set bonus" setting. In "low" bid rounds, teams earn one point for each trick under seven.
