HINT: Open meld does not mean initial meld, it simply means you must have that set melded on your board without it being a canasta. You may meld at any time, but remember unless you have the 7-10 split you cannot go out!

BRING IT PARTNER (Table 4/2/2)* NO PU* At the beginning of the game the host will say what the table is to canasta in order to go out. (The whole table).
