Canasta Playing Cards - Complete Canasta Set Luxury Canasta playing cards

Jaques Signature Luxury Plasti-Coat Canasta Playing Cards - Finest Available Complete Canasta Set comes with everything you need to play. Complete Rules Included - Canasta is a matching card game in which the object is to create melds of cards of the same rank and then go out by playing or discarding all the cards in your hand. Rules If a rank is melded, it must contain at least three cards on the table. It is possible to add a wildcard to a column of cards of any rank on the table. The wildcard is then seen as a card of that rank (but the value remains unchanged). However, there may never be more wildcards than natural cards within one meld. At the beginning of a hand, the top card of the stock is automatically turned around and placed on the discard pile. If this card is a Red Three or a wildcard, the procedure is repeated until the top card of the discard pile is neither a Red Three nor a wildcard. When a new hand is dealt, the hands of both players are checked to see if they contain a Red Three. If there is one, that Three is then automatically melded, and an extra card is dealt to the hand out of which it came. This procedure is repeated until neither player has any Red Threes left in his hand. Black Threes may not be melded, except when the player can go out by melding a column of three or four Black Threes. These Black Threes must then be the last cards to be melded. The discard pile can be frozen by discarding a wildcard or a Red Three. A freeze is indicated by brackets [..] and means that both players are only allowed to take the discard pile if they can meld the top card using only the cards in their hand, as if they had no cards on the table.

Delivery Details

Our delivery covers Mainland UK, but sadly we cannot offer delivery to Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland or BFPO addresses. International shipping is no longer available. For bespoke delivery costs to Non-Mainland UK, including the Channel Islands, please email our customer services team directly at gameon@jaqueslondon.co.uk.

Scottish Isles Deliveries: This is a flat fee of £23.99 for all items on site (including Croquet). 

Our Croquet, Chelsea Skittles & Luxury Badminton sets are made in the UK to order so they take a little bit longer to get that high quality finish you expect from Jaques. They currently have a lead time of up to 2 weeks for delivery.
