You can use the extra cards or set them aside.</br> <br> [BONUS CARD 1]: Bonus 3rd Joker, called "Picante" that can be used to add a little spice or heat. Can be used or set aside.</br> <br>- Benefits: When laid in front of you, it allows you to rebuild your depleted hand to 11 and play any melds you have drawn. If played or left in your hand, you will lose 100 points. If it is the only card left in your hand, you do NOT lose any points. You may use the Picante card as a “Wild” card, but you lose 100 points from your “mixed” canasta.</br> <br> [BONUS CARD 2]: Bonus 4th Joker, called "Little Joker" that is worth 25 points instead of 50 points like the other jokers. Can be used or set aside.</br> <br>- Benefits: The “Little” Joker is played or used like all the other Jokers, the difference is the point values are smaller. In reality, the “twos” are considered “Little Jokers” in Canasta too, but we just thought it would be fun to add a little different twist.</br></p> <p><br>About Canasta</br> <br>Canasta is a Rummy game with a Latin beat that excites with its wild cards and high scoring hands. Canasta ("basket" in Spanish") became the favorite card game of millions of North Americans when it arrived from South America with the Samba and Bossa Nova. Today, Canasta is still a big hit with players of all ages and skill levels. The "HOT" versions of Canasta for the past few years has been "Hand and Foot" (often abbreviated as "Hand-N-Foot") and Samba.</br></p> <p>PLEASE NOTE: Ruler and coin shown are for demonstration only and are not included.</p> <p>SIZE: Standard poker size 2.5x3.5" playing cards.</p>
