Canasta del Uruguay is know more commonly known as Canasta. This
exciting card game was created in Montevideo in the 1940s and quickly
became the most widely played game of its day. This informative
introduction to the game is written in step by step sections to let the
novice fully understand what makes this game so popular even today. Many
of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and
before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are
republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern
editions, using the original text and artwork.
