Games: Canasta in Calonge

We meet twice a month in Calonge in the Bar Cercle Placa Major 5

CANASTA is a matching card game in which the object is to create melds of cards ofthe same rank and then go out by playing or discarding all the cards in your hand, thedistinctive feature of CANASTA, as opposed to other Rummy games, is that making a seven card meld, called a CANASTA, gives the player a huge bonus, and the number of CANASTAS made usually decides the
game.
Another distinctive feature is that in CANASTA when a player picks up cards from the discard pile, the player picks up the entire pile, as opposed to only the top card in most other Rummy games.

Come and join us to play this fascinating game in a relaxed, friendly but competitive atmosphere.
