Inside How to Play Canasta, you’ll discover how to play this relatively new South American game. Invented in Montevideo, Uruguay, this game quickly spread to neighboring countries. The game’s inventors named it after canastillos, little baskets they used to sort out their cards. In the 1940s, Josephine Artayate de Veil introduced the game to Manhattan’s Regency Club – and the rest is history!

Canasta combines elements of Bridge and Rummy. This game is easy to learn, especially for players of these games. Players prefer Canasta because they can play individually and in pairs. This game uses two full decks of cards (including the jokers) and combines partnership play with point-scoring (jokers are worth the most points).
