2's and Jokers are wild cards and may used to help start a meld or be added to an existing meld.To start a meld, a player must have at least three or more matching rank cards (EXAMPLE: P1 starts a meld by placing down three 9's).
Cards are scored according to their rank and quantity. In Canasta, the goal is to be the first team to score 5000 points via their card melds (sets of cards).
