canasta
Canasta uruguaya was created in 1951.
A canasta is called concealed when you go out in one turn, including a canasta. This earns an extra bonus of 100 points. In some variations the bonus is bigger, but not in classical Canasta.
In Canasta, a natural canasta, which consists of seven cards of the same rank without any wild cards, scores 500 points. If a canasta includes wild cards, it is considered a mixed canasta and is worth 300 points. The value of the cards used in the canasta can also add to the overall score, but the base points for a natural canasta remains 500.
Twos are wild in most versions of Canasta, and in "Hand and Foot," which is basically Canasta by another name.
In Canasta, if a player goes out without having a canasta, the scoring for the other players is based on the cards they hold in their hands. Each card has a point value: 5 points for each wild card (2s and jokers), 10 points for each Ace, and 5 points for 3s through 8s, while 10 points are assigned for 9s through Kings. If a player does not have a canasta, each of their cards is counted towards the penalty score, which is subtracted from their total score. Finally, if a player has a canasta, it can help offset their penalty score against their total.
