You may meld a red three as a single card, to be eligible for a bonus, but you don't have to. Therefore only five different sambas are possible in a suit, consisting of the ranks: 4-10 5-jack 6-queen 7-king 8-ace. Wild cards and threes cannot be used in a samba. No further cards can be added to a samba. ![]() Sequences can be extended to a maximum of seven cards a complete sequence of seven cards is called a samba. A sequence is a set of at least three natural cards of the same suit which are consecutive in rank. The novelty in this game, compared to Canasta, is the fact that you can build sequences. So if I have melded two aces and a joker, I can later start a separate meld consisting entirely of real aces, hoping to make a pure canasta. In Samba, it is legal to have more than one group of the same rank of cards and keep them separate. It is also possible to meld a group, or even a canasta of black threes, but black threes can only be melded on the turn in which the player who melds them goes out. If it contains one or more wild cards, it is a mixed canasta, indicated by stacking the cards with a black card on top.įurther cards, beyond seven, can be added to a canasta, but if you add wild cards to a pure canasta, this degrades it to a mixed canasta. If all the cards in it are natural, it is a pure canasta, indicated by stacking the cards together with a red card on top.
