Game Introduction:

Forty-Five is played with a standard 52-card deck. The game begins with a trump suit determined by the top card of the deck. Players aim to win "tricks" – rounds where each player plays a card – to accumulate points. The goal is to be the first to reach 45 points (or more) to win the game, with special bonuses awarded for the best card played in a round. Strategic play is key, as players must follow suit, or play a trump if they cannot. The card ranks are unique and vary depending on whether they are in the trump suit or off-suit, adding depth to every decision.
