What We Do
Come along and enjoy a friendly game of cards. We play both Bolivia and Canasta.
Bolivia:
Bolivia, a variant of Canasta, allows melds consisting entirely of wild cards. A meld of 7 wild cards (twos and/or jokers) is called a bolivia and is normally worth 2500 points. To go out, two 7-card melds are needed, of which at least one must be a sequence meld (escalera).
Canasta:
Canasta is a card game of the rummy family of games believed to be a variant of 500 Rum. Although many variations exist for two, three, five or six players, it is most commonly played by four in two partnerships with two standard decks of cards.
