About Canasta

Canasta ("basket" in Spanish") became the favorite card game of millions of North Americans when it arrived from South America with the Samba and Bossa Nova. Today, Canasta is still a big hit with players of all ages and skill levels.

What makes these cards special?
- Highlights on wild cards.
- Point values printed on the card face
