If You Use Your Own Ru

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PAGE 7,

By OSWALD JACOBY THE battle of the official canasta rules against homemade rules continues. Practically every canasta player in

the country has at some time or other tried some pet modification of the official rules. People try something new and usually

| return to the official rules. ;

There is nothing wrong in making up your own rules for a game. If you're playing with friends in your“own home, you're entitled to use any rules that suit your fancy.

The important thing is to make sure that everybody understands exactly what the rule is. If there’s one newcomer in the game, you must make sure that he understands the rule even though it may be something that the other players know by heart. There's one disadvantage in using home-made rules. You can’t get an impartial officlal decision in case of a misunderstanding or disagreement. If you use the official rules, you can always look up the rule book. If that doesn’t seem to answer your question, you can always ask some recognized authority to give you the official interpretation of the rules. For example, take the rule that is most frequently doc-

tored by home players. Many people like to follow the house rule that you cannot pick up the discard pile if the previous discard matches your closed canasta.

This has never been the official rule, so when a disagreement is brought to me for settlement I can never give an answer that will be fair to everybody. :

Suppose you throw a king. The next player has a canasta of kings. The pack is not frozen and he has no kings in his hand. That's an easy case. If you follow the homemade rule, the next player cannot pick up the king. (Remember: according to the official rules, He can pick it up.)

Let's make it a little more difficult. You discard a ki this time it #8 your side that has the canasta of kings. hie. be next player pick up the king, or does it still operate as a black three? I don't know the answer to that one. Some people play it one way and others play it another way. ” ” » » ” ~ AS A matter of. fact, suppose your discard is a king, that the next player has a canasta of kings, and that he also has an additional pair of kings still in his hand. Can he pick up the discard king with the pair of kings from his hand? I have no answer for that problem either.

I am not trying to set down on paper all the things I don't know about canasta. My purpose is to show you that it isn’t easy to make up new rules. You run into trouble sooner or later. When that happens, it's pleasant to havé some way of getting out of your trouble. One logical ‘answer to these problems is to rule that a player can always take the discard if he has a ‘matching pair of natural cards in his hand. Instead, it is possible to rule that a discard that matches a closed canasta operates just llke a black three. (If you adopt the latter rule, you have to decide whether the discard operates

like a black three against both gides or only against the side |

that has the canasta.) Either method will work, but the players in your game should pick their method in advance.

Playing with “canasta lawyers” can be tedious. They're the smart cookies who invent a rule when they don’t know what the official one is. However, you can be the judge with Jacoby's 1951 INTERNATIONAL LAWS OF CANASTA. Send 15 cents in coin with your name and address to The Indianapolis Times, P. O.
