Canasta Card Game Rules

This is a matching card game in which the object is to create melds of cards of the same rank and then go out by playing or discarding all the cards in your hand.

The distinctive feature of this card game, as opposed to other Rummy games, is that making a seven-card meld, called a canasta (gives the player a huge bonus) and the number of these you made, usually decides the winner of the game.

Canasta may be played with 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 players but is best played with four persons as a partnership game. This word actually means "Basket" in Spanish and probably referred to the tray that was originally used to hold the discards. It is still often referred to as "Basket Rummy" but it has a number of rules which are both specific to the classic version and in variance with other Rummy card games.
