Canasta burst onto the scene in 1950 and created the biggest card game craze to ever hit the country. Millions were (and are) captivated by the tantalizing twists of this great game and its romantic South American origin. "Canasta" means basket in Spanish and the game was named for the little wicker basket that the first players used to hold their cards.
