Canasta Rules. How To Play Canasta.

Canasta is a popular Rummy-type card game, played by 2 players  (Rubl.com Canasta implementation). 

The goal is to beat the opponent player by scoring more points by melding cards (3 or more cards of the same suit), and making as many canastas as possible. A canasta is a meld of at least seven cards of the same rank. Canasta is played with 108 cards, consisting of two standard 52-card packs with four Jokers. Each player is dealt 15 cards. The rest of the deck is placed facedown to form the stock, and the top card of the stock is turned faceup and placed alongside the stock to start a discard pile. 
Like in all Rummy games the play procedure consist of taking cards from the closed stock or from the discard pile (in Canasta the player takes the whole pile), melding cards and discarding a card into a discard pile.
