Very good! My family has been playing Canasta for years. This is played very similarly and I think it will be easy for us to learn because of! Thank you!!
Thank you! I once interned at a place and we would play "Canasta" at lunch, but it was a variation of the game and I never caught the name. This was it and a good refresher.
It's interesting that this game calls for three decks of cards. That seems like a strange number seeing as how decks of cards are usually sold as singles or pairs.
Does this version have a freeze rule? In regular Canasta, playing a 2 freezes the pile. It is only thawed when a player can legally pick up a discard by holding 2 or more matching cards in their hand.
Compared to regular canasta, samba's discard pile is always frozen. The major difference is that you can actually take just the topcard if you can lengthen a sequence with it, but you cannot take the rest of the pile with you if you do so. Otherwise you always need at least two natural cards of the same rank as the topcard and meld them together to take the pile.

@JamieDNGN I see; thanks for clearing that up for me.
