If you have taken the discard pile but discover that you cannot use the top card, you can restore the pile by clicking on it.Also, no wildcards may be used in melding: if he has one Seven and a wildcard in hand - instead of two Sevens- he may not take the discard pile. For example, if the discard pile is frozen and the top card is a Seven, the pile may only be taken if the player has two Sevens in his hand, even though he has a column of three Sevens on the table. A freeze is indicated by brackets and means that both players are only allowed to take the discard pile if they can meld the top card using only the cards in their hand, as if they had no cards on the table. The discard pile can be frozen by discarding a wildcard or a Red Three.These Black Threes must then be the last cards to be melded. Black Threes may not be melded, except when the player can go out by melding a column of three or four Black Threes.This procedure is repeated until neither player has any Red Threes left in his hand.
If there is one, that Three is then automatically melded, and an extra card is dealt to the hand out of which it came. When a new hand is dealt, the hands of both players are checked to see if they contain a Red Three.If this card is a Red Three or a wildcard, the procedure is repeated until the top card of the discard pile is neither a Red Three nor a wildcard.
A canasta is a meld of at least seven cards of the same rank. You score points by melding cards, and making as many canastas as possible. Your goal is to beat your opponent by scoring more points.
