Object of the Game
Play all or as many of the cards in your Hand and Foot before your opponent does and achieve the highest possible score.
Overview
The game is played with standard decks, being the number of decks used equal to the number of players plus one. Each player has two hands of cards. One is called the Hand which is played first and the other the Foot, which is played when the Hand is used up. Each hand begins with 13 cards.
Each player starts play with his Hand until it is exhausted then picks up his Foot and resumes playing until it is exhausted or the deck runs out of playable cards. Once a player has picked up his Foot, they must be carefull NOT to play all his cards until the Book requirement to go out of cards is met. Doing so creates a severe penalty. When a player goes out, the round is ended.
Going Down and Creating Books
Each player draws 2 cards from the Draw Pile when it is his turn to play. They can meld cards down from his Hand (Meld) until they are ready to end his turn of play. At this point the player discards 1 card to the discard pile and his opponent starts his turn. This continues until a player goes out or the Draw Pile runs out of playable cards.
Each player has Minimum Point requirements for the initial Meld which depends on the round that the players are playing.
1st round = 50 points minimum
2nd round = 90 points minimum
3rd round = 120 points minimum
4th round = 150 points minimum
Each card in the deck has a point value as follows:
4, 5, 6 and 7 each = 5 points
8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen and King each = 10 points
Aces = 20 points
Duces are Wild Cards each = 20 points
Jokers are Wild Cards each = 50 points
Threes are not meldable cards and are used strictly as discards.
Black 3’s = -5 points
Red 3’s = -100 points
Melds are accomplished by laying down 3 or more cards of the same denomination on the table which starts a “Clean” book or laying down a pair of the same denomination with 1 wild card which starts a “Dirty” book. On the initial meld Wild cards can only be used with pairs starting a new book. When the meld has 7 cards a “book” or “Canasta” is made.
The combined point values for all cards layed down on the initial meld must equal or exceed the Minimum point requirement for the round. The player can not start melding until his hand can meet the Minimum Point requirement.
Once a player has met the minimum point requirement, they are “Down” and then he and his partner are free to make further melds of any point value when it is his turn to play.
Book or Canasta Values
- Clean Books earn 500 bonus points each
- Dirty book earn 300 bonus points each.
- Joker books earn 1000 bonus points each.
Book bonus points can not be counted to meet the minimum point requirements for an initial lay down.
Once a player is “Down”, wild cards may be played on any book as long as the book ratio remains 1 or more straight cards versus wild cards and the book has not been closed. There’s a maximum of three wild cards per book.
Once a book is closed, the player may continue to play straight cards on the book. This doesn’t change the “Clean” or “Dirty” status of the book.
You can not play on your opponent’s books.
Drawing Cards from the Discard Pile
Certain card values “Freeze” the pile and prevent the player from drawing from the discard pile.
- Any Wild card (Duce or Joker)
- Any Three (Red or Black)
- Any Card for which there is a closed Book or Canasta *This rule might be removed in the future.*
If any other card is the top card of the discard pile then:
Each player has the option of drawing 7 cards cards from the discard pile -picking the discard pile- or to draw 2 cards from the draw pile when his turn begins.

Going Out
“Going Out” means playing all cards in both the HAND and FOOT. When a player goes out, all the melds are counted. The point values remaining in the Hand and Foot of the opponent are also counted and deducted from the Meld they made.
