Features & Play
The Piatnik Canasta set supports the traditional partnership version of the game, typically four players in teams of two, but can also be played by two or three individuals. Players race to form seven-card melds, or “canastas,” using the printed point values on the cards and the included score pad to quickly tally each hand. Piatnik’s crisp card faces, smooth finish, and clearly marked values make gameplay fast and accessible, even for newcomers.
This edition (barcode 9001890230233) combines quality components, traditional card artwork, and everything you need to sit down and play straight out of the box, making it an excellent choice for family game nights, clubs, and travel.
