    I’ve never played a special hand. I like more information on it. Is it difficult to do?

    • @modernamericancanasta
      @modernamericancanasta Před 16 dny

      They take some time to learn but not difficult. We will share more info. There should be a video replay specifically on Special Hands

  • @joanntaylor247
    @joanntaylor247 Před 5 měsíci

    This example is confusing. Are you saying that you can pick the pack in order to get 180? I thought you couldn’t pick the pack unless you have the correct amount first to meld, meaning 180 in your hand already.

  • @lauraberendson4032
    @lauraberendson4032 Před 10 měsíci

    You had a two, and you ended up closing out the sixes which had six of them, and you did not close out the jacks that had five jacks and a joker and you could have added the two. I'm wondering if there was a difference in points. And that's why you did the sixes instead of closing out the jacks.

    • @modernamericancanasta
      @modernamericancanasta Před 10 měsíci

      1. Typically, if there is already a Wild Card on a meld and I can close it, I will add a Wild Card to that meld rather than six Natural Cards since my partner may have that natural card and we get 200 more points for a Natural. Not sure if we realized that while talking and closed the sixes with six cards rather than add a seventh to the Jacks. 2. Other than Wild Card, Pure Aces and Sevens: A Canasta is a Canasta - Pure 500 points, Mixed 300. So there isn't a benefit to close a ten point card v. a five point card. 3. However, there is a benefit to close Aces since if the other team hasn't opened, this is a great card to make a Dead Card so they cannot use Aces (20 points) to Open.

    • @lauraberendson4032
      @lauraberendson4032 Před 10 měsíci

      tx. I wonder if perhapps there were 6s in the discard pile and so the only way to close was with the wild card, and perhaps there were still some Jack's out there. I don't remember.

  • @lauraberendson4032
    @lauraberendson4032 Před 10 měsíci

    I think this is an excellent series of questions and answers. It would be nice to have all of the series stored together and numbered. You have a picture in blue that says it is about the meld base. But when you click on it, you find out. That is really number one in the question and answer series, so it would be great if you could correct that blue picture and correctly label it as round 1. It would also be great to save these on your Facebook page. Under your file folder and put it under a subfolder for the q and a series. So people don't have to scroll through the post things to find them. I like being able to save the PDF with the questions and the answers. So you can back, go back and review it many times. And it is good to be able to look at it without having to listen to the video. I like listening the first time but then I want to be able to go back and reference it without having to listen from beginning to end. So that is good to have the PDF.

  • @lauraberendson4032
    @lauraberendson4032 Před 10 měsíci

    I like the q and a series and I think it is very good.

  • @lauraberendson4032
    @lauraberendson4032 Před 10 měsíci

    When I looked at your playlist I picked the one that said it was all about the meld base. But when I open it, it seems it's really round one of your question and answer series, so that is very confusing. Shouldn't it be clearly marked as round one of your series rather than having the picture in blue that it is about the meld base?

    • @modernamericancanasta
      @modernamericancanasta Před 10 měsíci

      while we appear technical, this is all new to us since starting videos for Facebook.com/groups/MahjongCommunity and Facebook.com/groups/ModernAmericanCanasta ... we are learning as we go

  • @lauraberendson4032
    @lauraberendson4032 Před 10 měsíci

    This doesn't say that it's the first round of the series, and it would be great if you could add that to the title since number two does say it is number two. It also would be great if these files would be saved in facebook under the files folder instead of having to scroll through and find them in the postings.

  • @lauraberendson4032
    @lauraberendson4032 Před rokem

    I think the one thing that you skipped in the tutorial was where to click to see the last three cards played in the discard pile.
