How Canasta Evolved With Two Card Draw Variant
In Canasta the original four player game drew one card per turn and could meld one canasta to end a hand. Problems with speed and discard-pile control led to adding two canastas as a requirement and finally Crawford’s fix: draw two cards each turn and discard one. This changes hand size progression and reduces risk of being strangled by discards.
