Not real canasta rules
This game rewards canasta points before the 90 or 120 meld is met.(50 is irrelevant because all melds of 7 cards would meet that meld requirement of 50 points, and therefore earn the extra 300 bonus points for the canasta. ) But here, on this site, if you have not yet made meld of 90(you have no cards down yet) but in your hand you have 3 wild twos worth 20 points each (60)+ 4, five point cards ;let’s say for example 6s (equaling another 20 points) that total meld is only melding out to 80 points. real rules of canasta, require that you make meld before you can make a canasta. If you can’t make meld, of 90 (or 120), you can’t be rewarded the 300 bonus canasta points. Also this game allows players to pick up the pile, not remembering what was in the pile, then they put the pile bechbback and draw from the deck. Thats called cheating.
