Our Canasta/Bolivia Group
The Pacific Paradise Canasta & Bolivia group meets in the upstairs Pavilion.
The classic game is for four players in two partnerships of two. Variations exist for two and three player games wherein each plays alone, and also for a six player game in two partnerships of three.
If partners are chosen, they must sit opposite each other. Canasta usually uses two complete decks of 52 French-suited playing cards with two or three Jokers per deck, making a total of 108 or 110 cards.
(The number of Jokers varies depending on the deck).
