"Rules" - Points

Every group / club etc. needs some "rules" so do we.

The Samba Canasta Group LeHa concists of friendly persons who just want to have a nice afternoon.

​

It is very much appreciated by our treasurer Harm if you pay your € 1,- table money before you start playing.

​​

We are a non profit group, runned by Harm & Yolanda who are there almost every week very early to set up the tables so you can start playing when you come in.

​​

Because it is a social club in Spain where everybody is welcome there are several nationalities playing so we try to use English as our common language.

But we would appreciate it very much if English speaking members would make an effort to try to communicate with the non English speakers.

THE START OF AN AFTERNOON

At the start time (13:00) every player present draws a card.
Ace = Table 1, 2 = Table 2, etc.

When a table is complete you can start playing.

Later than 13:00
If we know you will arrive later than that's no problem of course.

 A hand 
A hand is playing the cards dealt, regardless of the round (50, 90, 150, or more).
 Drawing a card to swap 
Ace = The highest card, drawing a Joker (50p) than you have to draw another card.

​​

 With 4, 8, 12, 16 etc players: 

Ideal situation:

no need to draw cards after playing 1 hand.

Everyone remains at the table which they got by drawing a card.

 

 With +1, +2 or +3 players 

Non ideal situation:

After playing 1 hand all 4 players on a table with4 players draw a card

and the highest card(s) leaves.

Which may result in a partnership being broken up, which is good because everybody needs to play with and/or against everybody.

In short: 

(With +1 player)  - 1 player leaves the table

(With +2 players)  - 2 players leave the table

(With +3 players) - 1 player leaves the table

​​​​

 This happened once: 

If it happens that the stock & the discard pile are empty I made the decicion that:

After the last card(s) is/are played, everybody scores his/her Bonus points, red 3's, Samba's, Canasta and/or Bolivia's and start with a new hand.

The only exception

ONLY in this situation is

NOBODY looses his/her 1 Canasta or Samba and the Red 3's are NOT negative.

Only because this is a very unusuall situation.
