Canasta is a 4-player card game where there are two teams of two players. Work with your partner to make melds and score points. Melds are created by playing cards in sets of 3 or more, and can include wild cards (2's and Jokers). On your turn, you can pick up a card from the draw pile, or pick up the entire discard pile. Play any melds possible, and then discard a card. Take turns until a player goes out by playing all of their cards. A team must have at least one canasta (set of 7 same-valued cards) to go out.
