Then, everyone can pick up their cards and look at them. Pick 1 player to be the dealer and, starting with the person to their left, deal each player 11 cards facedown. To set up the game, pair into partners and shuffle 2 decks of cards together (jokers included). Canasta is a fun card game for 4 people where players try to make melds out of cards of the same rank until they 'go out' by playing all the cards in their hand.
