Course Description: Canasta is a fun and popular card game that can be very intimidating at the beginning. With practice, you will get better over time and learn to play forming your own strategies. Canasta is a great game for socializing with small groups of people since a game can last an hour or more. If you'd like to learn this game, we would love for you to join us.
