News : New ranking system ! It's now the total of Points won - Points loss                                                                                                                                                                                                        Tip : Enjoy snacks in doses                                                                                                                                                                                                        Tip : If you have no idea what card to throw, rather use one worth 5 points, you might just get lucky and the next player wont have enough points to take it.                                                                                                                                                                                                        Tip : Making a (small) joker canasta isn't necessarily always the best option. You can get up to 2100 points (7x300 for 6cards+1joker)) instead of 1000 if you distribute them. Moreover you do not run into the risk of your team not having enough jokers for a canasta when you put them down. Use your jokers                                                                                                                                                                                                        Tip : As a rule of thumb: Every trash is a good trash. (consisting of at least 2 cards)                                                                                                                                                                                                        Tip : Always remember the amount of cards put down of each rank.                                                                                                                                                                                                        Tip : Players tend to bluff more in games, where they only need 50/90 points to take the trash, than in those where they need 120/150 points.                                                                                                                                                                                                        Tip : Players are less likely to close with 3 cards on their hand than with 2. (this doesn't include the card they draw at the beginning of their turn)                                                                                                                                                                                                        Tip : Having trouble with counting to 14 when you're the dealer? Try this: deal 2 cards at once to every player and name a weekday for every turn. When you finish sunday youre done.                                                                                                                                                                                                        Tip : Youre playing canasta with/against players, not cards. Watching their behaviour can give you a lot of useful informations.                                                                                                                                                                                                        Tip : If in a match youre loosing by a lot, it might be a good tactic to try to close before the other team gets a canasta, instead of waiting to gain more points.                                                                                                                                                                                                        Tip : Enjoy your game of Canasta with a cup of PG Tips tee with its rich and spicy aroma. YUM!                                                                                                                                                                                                        Tip : If youre not sure what card to put down into the trash, why not use a joker?!                                                                                                                                                                                                        Tip : Always count the points you have on your hand in advance, be it whilst its someone elses turn, or even when its yours, after you already took a card from the deck and before you put one into the trash.                                                                                                                                                                                                        Tip : Ever wondered whether it is possible to win a whole match in just one game? Well, here's the answer for you: No, it is not possible since the maximum amount of points a team can earn in one game is 9705.                                                                                                                                                                                                        Tip : If a player puts an Ace into the trash, he most likely already has enough points to take the trash.                                                                                                                                                                                                        Tip : Never bluff a monkey!                                                                                                                                                                                                        Tip : Dont be sad if you were unlucky! Luck averages over time.
