Manufacturer's Description One of the best card games ever devised. Can be played by either two players or the best version is for four players in two pairs. Review: Great Quality and Price - I went to try and buy a set of canasta in Bath, but the first shop had never heard of it and one of the biggest retail outlets in the country for games didn't sell it. I ordered this set and everything about the purchase was excellent. They arrived very quickly, the quality of the cards are really good and rules are included. Well done! Review: Recommended wholeheartedly. - If you've not played Canasta before, start now. It's an addictive game which has enough twists and turns to keep the interest but isn't as testing as bridge which, being slightly grey-celled challenged, I failed to come to grips with. In theory, you can play it with any two sets of playing cards, but to have the official Canasta cards when you're learning, helps, because the points are written on the cards. Recommended wholeheartedly. ## Features - Score pad and rules included - The classic card game for 2 or 4 players - One of the best card games ever devised.

What size are these cards? Regular or bridge size?** A: Nice question. The dimensions of Piatnik Canasta Card Game is 5 x 3.9 x 0.9 inches. **Q: Is the score pad included?** A: There was a pack of scorecards included with my first order of four decks of cards . There were no score cards in my second duplicate order . I don't know if they forgot to include them or if they changed it and didn't let me know . I could've use a second set of score pads to give to the friends I play with . No I have a text of cards in just a few score pads . **Q: Do these cards work for the game hands and feet?** A: I wouldn't know. The cards are like a regular deck but, the value of each canasta point is on the card itself. **Q: Are the cards with large print?** A: I do not have these any longer,but i believe the cards were standard print. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Quality and Price *by J***N on 24 December 2013* I went to try and buy a set of canasta in Bath, but the first shop had never heard of it and one of the biggest retail outlets in the country for games didn't sell it. I ordered this set and everything about the purchase was excellent. They arrived very quickly, the quality of the cards are really good and rules are included. Well done! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommended wholeheartedly. *by A***L on 17 August 2014* If you've not played Canasta before, start now. It's an addictive game which has enough twists and turns to keep the interest but isn't as testing as bridge which, being slightly grey-celled challenged, I failed to come to grips with. In theory, you can play it with any two sets of playing cards, but to have the official Canasta cards when you're learning, helps, because the points are written on the cards. Recommended wholeheartedly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a card game for older children and adults *by S***T on 26 May 2010* This is good value for money as you get two packs of cards, with the 'canasta' values printed on them. You need this when totally up scores at the end each hand. Plus a brief instruction book on how to play the game. As with all instructions for card games it is easier if you play with someone who knows the game - but the instructions are not too complicated and they give variations on the basic game. There are also 4 scoring sheets - a bit flimsy - but again adequate. So for a complete beginner who wants to play canasta, be it a child from 8 years to grannies and grandpa's this pack will suit all ages. You can play the game with 2, 3, or 4 people - singles or doubles. My friends and I have all bought the game so that we have the cards when we go round to each others houses to play. I haven't rated this higher as it is not strictly a toy - but if you enjoy playing card games this is great as it is interesting, easy to get to grips with and nowhere nearly as difficult as bridge. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/49018188-canasta-card-game](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/49018188-canasta-card-game) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
