Hello, American canasta is The same as uruguayas canasta ? Thank you 😊

Re: the rules for picking up the pack In a recent game one of the players picked up the discard pack with 3 cards in her hand and a meld of 4 cards on the table. I called her out saying that’s not allowed but she claimed that it is allowed when there’s only 4 cards showing and the other 3 are in her hand.

I took their class earlier in the year. This is an excellent introduction to Modern American Canasta, along with their book you will be ready to play. I don’t have any players near me so I play online. I was nervous at first, but playing against bots gave me a lot of confidence. I highly recommend this class if you are wanting to learn this fun game.

Can a player pick up the discard pile if they have 3 cards in their hand and a 4 card meld on the table ?

Good and clear explanations

I’ve never played a special hand. I like more information on it. Is it difficult to do?

Great quiz! "Aced" it!

Anyone in nyc wanna play???

This is so helpful. Thank you. Do you have a video on Special Hands?

We hope this is helpful to decide what to discard. What else would you want us to focus on next?

I had 2222 88 99 101010 KKK and the real canasta did not let me have the special hand.

Just learning the game and this video is exactly what I needed! Thank you soooo much!

I dont know why this was in my feed, but thanks for bringing back some great 70s memories of being packed along as a kid when my mom went to play canasta with elderly ladies from church!

Our first meld can be pure

This example is confusing. Are you saying that you can pick the pack in order to get 180? I thought you couldn’t pick the pack unless you have the correct amount first to meld, meaning 180 in your hand already.

Why is only women playing Canasta? 🙂

You had a two, and you ended up closing out the sixes which had six of them, and you did not close out the jacks that had five jacks and a joker and you could have added the two. I'm wondering if there was a difference in points. And that's why you did the sixes instead of closing out the jacks.

I think this is an excellent series of questions and answers. It would be nice to have all of the series stored together and numbered. You have a picture in blue that says it is about the meld base. But when you click on it, you find out. That is really number one in the question and answer series, so it would be great if you could correct that blue picture and correctly label it as round 1. It would also be great to save these on your Facebook page. Under your file folder and put it under a subfolder for the q and a series. So people don't have to scroll through the post things to find them. I like being able to save the PDF with the questions and the answers. So you can back, go back and review it many times. And it is good to be able to look at it without having to listen to the video. I like listening the first time but then I want to be able to go back and reference it without having to listen from beginning to end. So that is good to have the PDF.

I like the q and a series and I think it is very good.

When I looked at your playlist I picked the one that said it was all about the meld base. But when I open it, it seems it's really round one of your question and answer series, so that is very confusing. Shouldn't it be clearly marked as round one of your series rather than having the picture in blue that it is about the meld base?

This doesn't say that it's the first round of the series, and it would be great if you could add that to the title since number two does say it is number two. It also would be great if these files would be saved in facebook under the files folder instead of having to scroll through and find them in the postings.

I think the one thing that you skipped in the tutorial was where to click to see the last three cards played in the discard pile.

These recorded games with commentary are so incredibly useful. Do you have a schedule for the week that tells us which days you will be posting these recordings of games?
