Ultimate Guide to Modern American Canasta: Canasta League of America
Learning to play Canasta is fun, but it can also be challenging. This Ultimate Guide to Modern Canasta was designed by veteran instructors and founders of the Canasta League of America (CLA) and Canasta Junction. The book helps novice players to understand concepts simply and clearly and introduces new strategy concepts to intermediate and advanced players. To make things easier, short chapters identify major concepts, followed by review questions to help test your knowledge of the subject matter covered. The book is divided into five parts: The Basics, Advanced Play, Competitive Play Options, Alternative Play Options and Reference Tools. Readers can go at their own pace, with the chapters designed to be completed in one sitting.
This is the only Canasta book that has the backing of the Canasta League of America. It utilizes the current Rules and Standards determined by the CLA.

When you are ready, move from practicing on the app to playing open hands with friends. This will help you to fully understand the nuances of the game.
