CANASTA
This was the other game I learned to play with my Family. It is probably the only game that MY WHOLE FAMILY knows how to play and all have played it at one time or another. Whats pretty wild, is that when I met Robin, her family was always playing a card game called Hand and Foot which is just another version of Canasta. The only reason its not #1 on my list is that its just a basic card game. But as for great memories and familty time, It will always be #1
Canasta (/kəˈnæstə/; Spanish for “basket”) is a card game of the rummy family of games believed to be a variant of 500 Rum. Although many variations exist for two, three, five or six players, it is most commonly played by four in two partnerships with two standard decks of cards. Players attempt to make melds of seven cards of the same rank and “go out” by playing all cards in their hand. It is the only partnership member of the family of Rummy games to achieve the status of a classic.
