Canasta rules
Build melds and collect seven-card canastas.
How to play
- Opposite seats are partners. Two decks and jokers are used.
- Draw from the stock or legally take the discard pile, then meld cards of equal rank.
- Twos and jokers are wild; a legal meld must include enough natural cards. Seven-card melds are canastas.
- Discard to finish a turn. A side needs a canasta before going out. Meld and bonus points are reduced by cards left in hand.
