Ever since it was first introduced in the 1950's in the United States, the Ponytail Canasta game has become the world's most popular variation of Canasta. Once online Canasta was introduced more than half a century later, it was only natural that Ponytail Canasta be an integral part of the advanced Canasta software. In general, the Ponytail Canasta game, both online or offline, is best played by four players in partnerships, yet you can also play Canasta with 2 - 4 partnerships, which will require additional decks of cards. The original Ponytail Canasta game is played by two pairs, requiring 6 decks of Canasta cards. As in other Canasta games, the objective of Ponytail Canasta is to meld cards. A valid meld is composed of at least three cards of the same rank. The melds composed by the individual Ponytail Canasta player will automatically belong to his group or partnership, which loses or wins as a whole.
