(Editor's Note: Goren on Bridge
will be resumed Monday, June 20J
Prior to last fall I had never been
o likely candidate for any of the
rummy-type card games. But in
October, 194S, it was my good for
tune to have been invited by the
Argentina Bridge League to head
an American team in the contract
bridge championship of South
America, and 1t was there that I
was exposed to the most exciting
Of the rummy games, canasta.
OF the charm and cordial hospi-
tality of our hosts have written
before, but to describe canasta,
which has captured the fancy of
thousands of erstwhile gin rummy
players, I have not, heretofore, burst
into print.
After having been conducted
through the usual tours in and
around Buenos Aires, we mentioned
to our hosts that we wanted to see
canasta, as though asking for
view of Grants Tomb. This sug-
gestion was warmly received. 1t
was like requesting a fond parent
for q look at the baby's picture.
That, as far as I am concerned, Is
how it started.
The game itself originated in
Montevideo. capital of Uruguay, but
was developed into its present form
by the Argentines in Buenos Aires
across the river. It was first intro
duced to this country by Ralph
Michaels, a Chicagoan.
The word "canasta" is Spanish,
meaning basket" and in this coun-
try canasta is sometimes called
s.basket rummy." You may dream
ip your own reason why q game
should be called basket" A cynical
correspondent suggested that a
basket is needed to shuttle the cards
--10s of them. It is to be noted
that the game, like Oklahoma, is
played with two full decks Of cards
but there are added four jokers.
If you ever have played any kind
of rummy you viii find it easy to
nick up the rules of canasta. AS
In all rummy games, play ends when
any one goes out" by getting rid
of all the cards; but in canasta
Agoing out" is less important than
Building UP a big score by melding
n great many cards. A "meld" Is
three or more of kind, such as
three Jacks, three aces or three
Aves. Sequences are not counted
Ia canasta. There are four jokers
used and these with all the deuces
Wild, making q dozen wild cards.
For added color, the treys have
i special significance, there is an
fnaportant distinction between the
red threes and the black threes,
which will presently be explained.
ii canasta is q meld Of seven Of q
dnd, for which large bonuses are
paid and without which side Is
not permitted to 60 out. But let
as start at the beginning and learn
Ne rules in order.
The most popular way Of playing
e2hasta Is with four players In two
Partnerships, but any number from
30 to six may participate. With

discards made during the course
of the game are put face up in one

picked up). The discard pile in
canasta is generally called "the

must be kept squared up, so that
only the top card can be seen, but
this rule may be abrogated by
unanimous agreement.
