Play a two-player canasta against other real players and win cash prizes!
Canasta is played with 108 cards, consisting of two standard 52-card packs with four Jokers. Each player is dealt 15 cards. The rest of the deck is placed facedown to form the stock, and the top card of the stock is turned faceup and placed alongside the stock to start a discard pile.
The goal is to score points by melding cards, a meld will have three or more cards of the same rank. Wild cards (jokers and twos) can be used in melds. Every meld must contain at least two natural cards, the number of wild cards should not exceed the number of natural card and be less or equal to 3. A meld of seven cards is called a canasta. If all of the cards in a meld are natural, it is called a natural canasta (500 points). Otherwise, it is a mixed canasta (300 points). Each turn begins by either drawing the top card from the deck or taking the whole of the discard pile if possible.
To go out (and thus to end the game) you should have 1 or 2 canastas among melds after melding all of your cards.
