The Canasta deck is a flexible concept in the canasta game as its amounts vary depending on the amount of players. In the classic version of Canasta or online Canasta, the Canasta deck number is fixed on two. The two card decks of 52 cards each and the added for jokers add to a total of 108 Canasta game cards. The Canasta game starts by dealing each player 11 cards from the Canasta deck. The members of each online Canasta partnership are sitting across from each other, when each partnership plays Canasta in a shared area, enabling the possibility for one of them to take the lead as they play Canasta. The objective of the Canasta game is to be the first team to reach the 5000 points. The jokers and 2's of the online Canasta deck are considered Wild Cards, meaning that any player in the Canasta game can use them to complete his melds. The 3's in either black or red benefit you when it comes to calculating the final score of the game.
