When your score is 10000 to 14995 then your initial meld(s) must be worth 120 or more points to play, and if your score is 15000 or more then you must have an initial meld(s) worth 150 or more points to play it. with a score of 5000 to 9995, your initial meld(s) must be worth at least 90 points to play. If your score is from 0 to 4995 then your initial meld(s) must be worth 50 or more points. If you have a negative score your meld(s) needs only to be worth 15 or more points to start a meld. When making your initial meld you may make as many melds as you need to reach the requirements, meaning you may start several melds of three or more cards. Your team’s current score determines how valuable your initial melding must be to be legal. The points associated with the cards described above are used when determining a melds score. Some requirements need to be met for a player to start melding each round. They are each worth 1000 points.Ī seven canasta consists of seven 7s and may not contain any wild cards.
