## What is 45s Offline?

Authentic 45's, done right.

Play authentic 45's / Auction 45's — the way it's actually played at kitchen tables and tournaments. Play cut-throat or partners with private developed game AI engine.  Real bidding, real partnerships, real competitive AI, completely offline

AUTHENTIC RULES
- Bidding: 15, 20, 25, 30
- Ace of Hearts as a permanent high trump
- 30 points per hand: 5 per trick plus a 5-point high-card bonus
- Make your bid or get set
- First to 120 wins — and you must make your own bid to take it

GAME MODES
- Cut throat: 2, 3, or 4 players, each scoring individually
- Partners: 4 players in two teams, combined team scoring

GAME CUSTOM OPTIONS
- Custom kiddie size: 1, 2, or 3 cards
- 30 for 60 bidding
- Reneg (hold back privileged trump cards, providing you hold a higher privileged trump.  (Still follows suit, so if a trump is led, you'll have to follow with a trump unless you're holding a higher privileged trump card.)
- Classic Aces (Ace of Clubs and Spades are higher than the king, Ace of Diamonds is lower than the two, Ace of Hearts is still a privileged trump)
- Back to Zero (turn it on, set the value between 45 and 120.  If a player or team lands on that score, they're set back to zero)



REAL AI OPPONENTS
- Plays like a real player, not random moves (be careful...oponents can try to set you back!)
- Understands partnership strategy
- Uses Third Man High logic — won't overtake a winning partner without a reason
- Applies trump pressure on the fourth-seat bidder
- Saves privilege trumps for the right moment
- Will show you they're upset when you've wasted a card

CLEAN, FOCUSED EXPERIENCE
- Optimized for landscape play
- Uncluttered table layout
- Automatic hand progression — no interruptions
- Built-in Rules & Help guide for new players
- Full VoiceOver support for cards, turns, and results

PRIVATE
- No advertising
- No in-app purchases
- No accounts, no logins
- No tracking, no analytics, no data collection
- Runs entirely on your device
- Currently offline play only

If you know 45's, this will feel like home. If you don't, it's the best place to learn.
