To those who bear the scars of overwhelming defeat, this game will come as a great relief, for one is less apt to be completely snowed under by an adverse run of good cards. It’s a free scoring game and both sides will usually run up considerable scores. The scoring goal is 10,000 points in the newer game which might be a deterrent to some players, yet curiously enough, our experience has been that it takes less time to score 10,000 points in this game than it does to reach the 5000 mark in the game of Canasta. The increased number of wild cards naturally lends excitement to the contest. An interesting variation is the limited use of sequences, a feature common to almost all other Rummy games which was banished from the game of Canasta and which now comes back to its own in this form of the game. The newer game possesses all the charm of the old one, but there are several innovations which have met with popular favor. It appears that great numbers of players have already found the game more fascinating than its predecessor, Canasta.

This new type of Canasta game played with three decks has already gained wide popularity and this booklet is being written in compliance with the request of many players in various sections of the country.
