Quickfire Rules
Oh Hell! follows the rules of standard trick-taking card games. A card is beaten either by a higher card of the same suit, or any trump card. Once a card is played, other players must play a card from the same suit. If they do not hold any cards from this suit, they may choose to Trump, playing any
trump card to win, or to Throw Away, playing any non-trump card to lose the trick.

Each trick scores one point, and correctly predicting how many tricks you will win at the bidding stage scores 10 points per round, or 5 if you bid 0 and the ‘Nil Bid Worth 5’ setting is switched on.
