The classic game of Canasta is for four players in two partnerships. Variations exist for two and three player games wherein each plays alone, and also for a six player game in two partnerships of three. If partners are chosen they must sit opposite each other. Canasta uses two complete decks of 52 playing cards (French Deck) plus the four Jokers. All the Jokers and twos are wild cards.

The venues do not charge anything for using their facilities, so it is appreciated if you can repay their hospitality by purchasing something from the bar during the afternoon.
