CanastaMatching-card game
Canasta (/kəˈnæstə/; Spanish for "basket") is a card game of the rummy family of games believed to be a variant of 500 Rum. Although many variations exist for two, three, five or six players, it is most commonly played by four in two partnerships with two standard decks of cards. It is "the most recent card game to have achieved worldwide status as a classic". wikipedia.org
- The objective of Canasta is to score points by melding cards and forming combinations. Players aim to create melds of at least three cards of the same rank, known as sets, or at least seven cards of the same rank, known as canastas. The game involves drawing and discarding cards strategically to build melds and eventually "going out" by playing all of the cards in their hand, earning additional bonuses.
- Highest to lowest: Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King
- The game of Canasta was devised by attorney Segundo Sanchez Santos and his Bridge partner, architect Alberto Serrato in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1939, in an attempt to design a time-efficient game that was as engaging as Bridge.
