Canasta, a popular Rummy-type card game played worldwide, has an interesting history with roots in South America. Particularly in Uraguay where, in the late 1930s, a group of friends began playing it in Montevido. The name Canasta means ‘basket’ in Spanish, reflecting the distinctive feature of collecting cards into melds or “baskets.” Gold coin donation.
