Canasta and Hand & Foot

Come to the library to play Canasta or Hand and Foot! This is open game-play for players of all levels. 

Canasta is a form of rummy that uses two full card decks. Players or partnerships try to meld groups of two or three cards of the same rank and score bonuses for 7-card melds. The first player to hit 5000 points or partnership to hit 8500 points wins!

Hand and Foot is a Canasta variant involving four to seven decks and is played by teams of two players (usually two teams, but it also works with three or four teams). The number of decks used is typically one more than the number of players, though this can vary.
