Does anyone remember how to play the Newfoundland card game 45 ? It used to be a favorite family game. It has been so long since I played it that I have forgotten just about everything about it except that hearts are very strong especially the 10 and 5. Also there always was a lot of accusations of re-neging and slamming when you won the hand. Any help would be appreciated. Lydia in Florida Researching family, LONG, Freeman, Batson, Penny, Nurse. all from Trinity Bay, English Harbor and Champneys.

Hi Lydia The rules are below. Although we all used "house rules". <grin> Cheers, Dan. http://www.pagat.com/spoil5/45.html ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 22, 2007 2:12 PM Subject: [NFLD-LAB] Card game 45 > Does anyone remember how to play the Newfoundland card game 45 ? > > It used to be a favorite family game.

I see that you have already been provided the link for the essentials of the game. HOWEVR, it should be noted that the description (referred to ) of the games is "45's". In Newfoundland and Labrador, 45's is one game and 120's (or more commonly known as ""AUCTION"" or ""GROWL"" ) is a separate game. Just thought I'd pass this along. Good luck in your research. Tom.
