OVERVIEW OF RAILROAD CANASTA

Railroad Canasta is a trick-taking card game for 2 or more players. The goal is for you to reach a score of 20,000 before your opponents.

SETUP

The first dealer is chosen at random and passes to the left for each new deal.

This deck is shuffled, and each player will draw a hand of 13 cards. After this, each player will draw an additional 11 cards that they may not look at. These 11 cards are called the Kitty.

The remaining deck is placed centrally as a draw pile and the top card is turned over to start the discard pile.

Card Rankings and Point Values

All suits are ranked Ace (high), King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, and 4 (low).

Jokers and twos are wild cards and can be played to represent any of the cards above. There may never be more the 3 wild cards in any meld or canasta.

Red threes must be immediately placed with your melds upon drawing them, and if the first card in the discard pile is red three it freezes the pile. Whenever a player later draws the pile, they must immediately meld the red three. Red threes do not count towards your meld requirements. See scoring below for more details.

Black threes cannot be placed in melds except when a player is going out. When a player is going out, they may meld as many black threes as you would like. (No wilds may be used.) It is the only meld that may have more than 7 cards. it does not, however, score a player a canasta bonus. If a black three is discarded to the discard pile it freezes the pile only for the next turn until it is covered with the next discard. 스포츠토토사이트

The cards have values associated with them for meld requirements (discussed below). Jokers are worth 50 points each. 2s and Aces are worth 20 points each. Kings through 8s are worth 10 points each, and 7s through 4s and black 3s are all worth 5 points each. Red 3s are special (discussed below).

CANASTAS AND MELDS

A meld consists of three or more cards that may be later added to. A meld cannot have more than 7 cards added to it. Once seven cards are reached it becomes a canasta. You may also never have two melds of the same rank at the same time. Once a meld of a certain rank is completed, however, you may start another of the same rank.

A Canastas is a completed meld that has 7 cards and falls into one of 4 categories.

The four types of canastas are Red, Black, Wild, and Sevens.

Red canastas have 7 cards all of the same rank with no wild cards. They are worth 500 points each. They are marked by having a red card on top of the canasta.

A Black canasta has both natural and wild cards all of the same rank and is worth 300 points. When starting a mixed meld to finishing a mixed canasta you must have at least 2 natural cards and never more than 3 wild cards. They are marked by having a black card on top of the canasta.

A wild canasta contains 7 wild cards. They are each worth 1000 points.

A seven canasta consists of seven 7s and may not contain any wild cards. They are each worth 1500 points.
