Then the value of each canasta (three of a kind or 7-card combination) is added up. If a player discards this card at the end of his turn, the next player will not be able to use the discard since it is not possible to make a combination with these cards.ДЄt Canasta, the values of the cards that make up the combinations made by each player are counted. The game is over when the player has placed his last card on the discard pile, unless he has just placed his last card on the mat.Д«lack 3 cards are used to embarrass the opponent. After that, the player must discard a card and discard it. You can add cards of the same level even if the combination of 7 is already formed, but this does not earn more points. The purpose of the canasta is to form combinations of seven cards of the same rank. Only one wildcard is allowed in a combination of up to 3 cards of the same level and 1 to 2 beyond that. He can also place a wildcard (a 2 or a joker) to complete a combination called a three of a kind (3 to 6 cards) or a canasta (7 cards of the same level).

For example, a player may choose to complete two queens of diamonds and a queen of hearts with two queens of clubs and a queen of spades. The player must place a minimum of three cards. To do this, the player's cards must complete a combination of cards that have already been laid down, i.e. The player places a few cards on the mat. The card drawn from the discard pile must be used immediately to form a three of a kind or to complete an existing combination. In each round, each player draws one card from the stock or discard pile. Once the deal is made, the game proceeds in a clockwise direction.

Three black 3 cards are worth 5 points.

Cards from 4 to 7 are worth 5 points each.

Figures (jack, queen and king) and cards from 8 to 10 score 10 points each.

The 3 reds are worth 100 points each (hence their title of bonus card).

Before we play, let's look at the value of the cards in canasta. 2's and wildcards are wildcards that can assume the role of any card in a combination. If a player receives one or more red 3's he must exchange them for another card from the stock. If the card turned over is a wild card, a red 2 or 3, the card is discarded and the dealer turns over a new card.

After each player is dealt 11 cards, the dealer turns over the first card from the stock. The cards that are not dealt constitute a stock that is placed face down on the table. He distributes eleven cards to each player.

The game of canasta starts with a deal made by the dealer.

Two decks of 54 cards (two classic 52-card decks with two wildcards).

The game is played with four players forming two teams of two.
