This favorite "rummy style" card game made its debut in America in the 1950's. Since then, it has been enjoyed by new generations of Canasta fans, with several different versions. This version of Canasta Calienta features an artistically illustrated set, displaying exotic species of birds, plants, ocean life, etc. Point values are shown on the two diagonal corners. Just as in Rummy, players lay down matching sets of cards that have varying amount of points. The person or team to score 5000 points wins.

Contents of Canasta Caliente:

• 110 Custom Cards
• 1 Set of Illustrated Rules (English)

Submited By: on 06/17/2011 Canasta Caliente is not your usual Canasta. The addition of the Caliente cards makes strategy even more important. No more grabbing the prize. You just use your Caliente card and you\'re back in the game. No more red 3\'s to worry about. There are four bonus cards worth 100 points and are played like the red 3\'s, but you don\'t get 800 points for getting all four (i.e. just 400 points). There are more wilds in this game and that can affect your strategy almost as much as playing the Caliente card., The one show stopper on the Caliente card is it is only worth negative 100 points. You have to hope what you pick up is worth at least 100 points. Sometimes it\'s not and you take a beating. I could almost play this game until the cows come home or midnight whichever is the latest.
