Jacoby on Canasta rules clarified for play
Oswald Jacoby explains new International Canasta Laws in a NEA Service column. The rules now allow picking up the discard pile with one card in hand only when the pile has two or more cards, and vice versa, with a strict limit: both hand and discard pile cannot each contain a single card. He also outlines the mandatory discard process after drawing when holding deuces and the prohibition on melding to zero cards. He notes he cannot answer individual reader questions but will publish common queries.
