What is Canasta?

Canasta is a card game of the Rummy family that is usually played by four players in two partnerships. The goal is to form melds of cards of the same rank and score points. A key feature of Canasta is the use of "canastas" — melds of seven or more cards of the same rank. The game is typically played with two standard decks of cards, including jokers, which are wild cards. Canasta emphasizes strategy, teamwork, and timing, making it a popular social and competitive game.
