Canasta For Two Players
Canasta for two players is the same as four-handed Canasta except for the following:
Each player plays for himself.
Each player is dealt fifteen cards.
A player cannot go out unless he's complete two canastas.
If the player draws from the stock, he draws two cards, but only discards one.
If there is only one card remaining in the stock, the last player can draw it and continue as though he drew two cards (i.e. it is a legal play).
The penalties for exposed cards and insufficient melds do not apply.
