Unwise to Waste Wild Cards on Possible Canasta Until Pattern of Play Is Clear

hand. Now your deuce or joker is.

NOW FOR my regular gquestions and answers.

Q—1I had one card left in'my |

hand. Our side did not have a canasta. I drew a card that was playable on one of our melds but it did not complete a canasta. Could I play that card on the meld and keep the other

| card in my hand and not make | & discard?

A-—No. The only time you do not have to discard is when you go out. Therefore you could not play the card you drew on your meld. You must discard one of the two cards: in your hand and keep the other,

QI have answered this question before but my readers still ask it. You need a minimum meld of 50 points. The up-card on the pack, let us say, is a five. You hold in your hand a five, a wild card, and you also have three aces. Many players want to know {if they can meld the three aces (60 points), thus fulfilling the minimum meld requirement, and then pick up the pack with the five and the

| wild card in their hand

A-—No, this may not be done, The laws specify that first you must draw, then‘qou can meld, and then “you ust discard. You may not meld before you draw. You must either draw or pick up the discard pile before you may make any meld. In such a case you have only one five-spot in your hand, and the pack is frozen to you because” you have not made a minimum initial meld. Therefore you must not ‘pick up the five-spot with your five and a wild card, even though you do have the 60 points in your hand to meld. r ” ” !

three-handed canasta in-which all three of us are playing for ourselves, is {t frozen for both of the three players, or do I freeze it -enly for myself and the player on my left? A-—-When you freeze the pack in canasta, whether you are playing 2-, 3-, 4, 5- or 6-handed,” you freeze it for everybody.
