In the early 1950's every major newspaper and magazine in the country praised the great South American rummy game that swept the U.S. into a card-playing frenzy. The game was CANASTA and we are proud to present the special 50th Anniversary Edition- CANASTA CALIENTE.

Included are the official Canasta rules that made the game so wildly popular, plus beautifully designed custom cards that capture the South American spirit of the game. Gameplay is authentic. each partnership aims to score 5,000 points by laying down sets of cards and adding to them. Forming a Canasta (7 or more cards of the same type) is required to go out. Wild cards can freeze the prize pile to thwart opponents. Claiming the prize pile can make point totals soar.

Caliente (hot) cards and new gameplay variations are included for players who want to turn up the heat in their Canasta games.

For 2 to 6 players ages 7 and up.
