Canasta is one of the best card games ever devised.
Canasta is traditionally for two, three or five players but is most commonly played by four players in two partnerships with two standard decks of cards. Canasta is originally from South America and is part of the rummy family of games. Players must aim to make combinations of seven cards of the same rank and go out by playing all cards in their hand.
