Canasta is a card game typically played with two decks of cards and four players in two partnerships. The objective is to score points by forming melds of seven or more cards of the same rank, and by playing cards from your hand. Players draw and discard cards to improve their hands and strategically block their opponents. The game ends when a player goes out by playing all their cards or when the draw pile runs out. Points are tallied based on the cards played, and the first team to reach a certain point threshold wins.
The game of Canasta is said to have originated in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1939 From there it spread to Argentina, the USA and throughout the world. It was extremely fashionable in the 1950's, threatening for a while to displace Bridge as the premier card game. The rules were standardised in North America around 1950, and it was this version of the game, known as Classic Canasta that gained worldwide popularity. In many countries, Classic Canasta is still played in more or less its original form, sometimes alongside a number of variations.
