Canasta (141 & 142)
Please see day, time and location information on the Class Finder page
Canasta is a classic card game played with two decks of standard playing cards. It is usually played with four players in two teams of two, but can also be played with 2, 3, 5, or 6 players. Players attempt to make melds of seven cards of the same rank, and “go out” by playing all the cards in their hands.
There are two u3a Canasta classes, on Monday evenings in Corfe Mullen and Friday mornings at The Spire in Poole High Street. The game is certainly less complex than bridge, and the u3a classes are suitable for both beginners and experts. You do not have a regular partner, and partners are rotated around the different members of the class.
