Quickfire Rules

Oh Hell! follows the standard rules of trick-taking card games. A card is trumped by a higher card of the same suit or any trump card. Once a card is played, other players must follow suit. If they can't, they have the option to play a trump card to win the trick or discard a non-trump card to lose it.

Each trick won scores one point, and correctly predicting the number of tricks you'll win during the bidding phase earns you 10 points per round. If you bid zero and the ‘Nil Bid Worth 5’ option is active, you score 5 points instead.
