FEATURES:
 • [MAKE SCORING EASIER]: The Point values are printed on all of the card faces to make it easier to add up your points. Great for beginners too. Highlights on the wild cards make them easier to identify.
 • [FOUR PIP INDEX]: We put the index or numbers along with the pips in all 4 corners. This saves space when laying out your cards and it's great for left handed folks. Standard poker size 2.5x3.5" playing cards.
 • [CANASTA & SIMPLE RULES]: This Double Deck Card Set (Edition 5.0) includes 2 single decks of red Canasta Clásico cards. It also includes the "10 Simple Rules to Canasta" to help freshen up the rules. 
 • [LARGER INDEX]: These stylish playing cards were not just designed with the canasta player in mind but the indexes (numbers and pips) are printed 25% larger to make them easier to read. While they are not consider "jumbo" the size does make it easier to read but not so big that it is annoying to others.    
 • [MADE IN USA]: Thicker card stock with a linen textured finish allows for longer card play and a better "snap" when you shuffle. Even better, the cards are Made in America by US Playing Cards, the maker of Bicycle Playing Cards!

INCLUDED CANASTA VARIATIONS:
This set includes your normal jokers along with 2 bonus or extra "Jokers" that can be used for alternative variations to canasta game play. You can use the extra cards or set them aside.
 • [BONUS CARD 1]:  Bonus 3rd Joker, called "Picante" that can be used to add a little spice or heat.  Can be used or set aside.
- Benefits: When laid in front of you, it allows you to rebuild your depleted hand to 11 and play any melds you have drawn. If played or left in your hand, you will lose 100 points. If it is the only card left in your hand, you do NOT lose any points. You may use the Picante card as a “Wild” card, but you lose 100 points from your “mixed” canasta.
 • [BONUS CARD 2]:  Bonus 4th Joker, called "Little Joker" that is worth 25 points instead of 50 points like the other jokers. Can be used or set aside.
- Benefits: The “Little” Joker is played or used like all the other Jokers, the difference is the point values are smaller. In reality, the “twos” are considered “Little Jokers” in Canasta too, but we just thought it would be fun to add a little different twist.

About Canasta
Canasta is a Rummy game with a Latin beat that excites with its wild cards and high scoring hands. 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.  The "HOT" versions of Canasta for the past few years has been "Hand and Foot" (often abbreviated as "Hand-N-Foot") and Samba.
