CANASTA
$6.95
Canasta, a game of the Rummy family was the most popular American game in the early 1950s. It originated in Uruguay about 10 years earlier, spread rapidly to Argentina and the rest of Latin America, and reached the United States about 1948. It is still played by millions. The word canasta means "basket" in Spanish, and the game was probably named for the tray used to hold the discards. The rules given below are the official rules, which very serious players use; however, many players have adopted one or more other versions, such as Bolivia, Samba and Chile, which are described later.
