Journaling:
I had never heard of Canasta before I met Mark, and it has easily become my favorite card came to play. We play frequently with Gwen and Dave, Lisa and Troy and sometimes others (although we`we've tried to teach others, no one seems to love it as much as we do.) Using 4 (or more decks), you play in groups of 2. You must play with your partner in order to meld one hand to make Canastas - groups of 7 of the same number of card or 4 of the card and up to 3 wild cards (which are Aces and 2’s). There are 2 types of Canastas - red and black, the red ones being pure (made up of the number cards only) and black being impure (made using one or more wild cards). The purpose of the game is to go out (use al your cards) after you have at least one red and one black canasta. There are 5 rounds and the team with the most points at he end of 5 rounds wins. The points are from the canastas themselves (300 for black, 500 for red) and each card has a point value as well. If someone goes out, the cards in your hand count against you. While the rules sound a little dry, it is a lot of fun to play and we have had some great games - although Mark and I can’t seem to win a game if we play together.
