| Canasta is great, but buy the standard version! |
Canasta is a great game and is a lot of fun!! I would suggest buying the standard version though. The Deluxe Caliente version comes with a goofy plastic card holder that is not worth using, and four negative bonus cards that make it "Caliente". We threw those cards out after a few games. Buy the cheaper one. It's just the same- only without the expensive gimmicks. |

| New version of Canasta? |
The game comes without any instructions...the first game I've ever purchased in my life without any. Fortunately, I know how to play canasta, but this set introduces a new "hot" card for a variation in play. Problem is, no direction as to how it is used. |

| Canasta game is the greatest |
The Canasta Game is great, so much better to play than using regular decks of cards. My husband caught right on and now we play all the time. I highly recomend it for families of all ages. |

| Canasta Caliente is HOT, HOT, HOT! |
Ditto all the 5-star reviews. I love this game. Here's my suggestion for a 5-star evening: Decorate the patio in chili pepper lights, pinatas,and colorful cutout posters. Set up tables with umbrellas. Put a Salsa music CD in the boom box. Set up a taco bar/nacho bar with lots of chips and salsa, and don't forget the frozen Margaritas. And have the friends over for a "fantastico" evening of cards. The bigger the group the more decks you'll need and tables (do 4 to 6 people to a table). This game is fairly easy to learn and play, and gets better the more you play it. Take a siesta as the sun sets for some Mexican coffee and fried ice cream and deal another round. !MUY BIEN! |

| fun game |
This is a really fun game to play with 2 couples but be sure to read the rules thoroughly so you understand the game and the point system.
We had a great time playing it. Any age group over 12 could probably understand and enjoy it.
I like the fact that it included the tray, that made the handling of the cards easier. |
