What does "2 cut cards" mean? I need cards that include jokers for Canasta, do these qualify?

"Cut cards" and "Jokers" are two different type of cards. This 2-deck set comes with 4 Jokers (2 small and 2 large for each deck) as well as 2 cut cards (1 for each deck). A Joker is a playing card without a suit and is added to the deck for games, such as Pitch as an additional "trick" winning card or as in Rummy as a "wild" card. A "cut card" is not a playing card at all. It is a card added to card decks used for placing between a shuffled deck when a player opts to "cut the deck". This card prevents the bottom of the deck's playing card from being revealed to other players. Cut cards often contain advertising or some other kind of print.

Jokers are included and cut card is a blank card to show where to cut the deck when shuffeling.

hello jane.. there is one game but they have divided the cards in half so you will get two stacks that you just incorporate together.

From what I have just read, Canasta cards are just slightly narrower than regular cards so I don't see why they couldn't be shuffled in the the Casino 6 Deck Shuffler. Should be fine!

You set up your face and you play against only computer partners. For Canasta, it is 4 players, you and a partner and two others. You are the only real person but you can select your preferred computer people to play with. I personally like Harley and Jack and Elaine.

I just checked my 2 decks of "Kem Stargazer Narrow Jumbo Index Playing Cards (Red/Blue, 2.25 x 3.5-Inches)" and they each had 2 jokers in them (one with a yellow shirt/red tights & one with a red shirt/yellow tights).

Random. There are a few that you can tell were on the same brain path, but overall they are random. I do know that they sometimes release limited edition stuff though that follow themes, like last christmas they had a christmas expansion, and they are selling the 'Box' on their website with cards about boxes. If you're interested in theme stuff, my advice is to check some of the unofficial custom card communities and sign up for their email list on their website.

We use the jokers as wild cards...you can use a joker as any other card in the deck at any time. However, if you end up with a joker at the end it counts as 20 points.

Six hand canasta....the rules of 4 handed apply, except as follows: There may be 2 partnerships of 3 players each, seated A B A B A B, each player seated between 2 opponents, OR, there may be 3 partnerships of 2 players each, seated A B C A B C. A triple pack is used.....three 52-card packs plus 6 jokers, all shuffled together....13 cards dealt to each player. When there are 3 partnerships, game is 7,500, when there are 2 partnerships, game is 10,000m and when a side reaches 7,000, it needs 150 for its initial meld. Four red 3's count only 100 each; 5 red 3's 1000 each in all and six red 3's is 1200. A side needs 2 canasta to go out. This info was extracted from Official Rules of Card Games. Jim

this game is a lot of fun. It is a game about scoring points. you work with a partner to create sets of numbers. you need 7 cards in a set to have a canasta. you need at least one canasta to go out. the more canastas you have, the more points you earn. you can have clean canasatas & sets or dirty ( contains wilds). game has rules for picking up from the deck and laying down cards to begin with to make game harder and more challenging with each round. simlar to hand and foot, but does have some differences. u will luv it

You are correct. You have to purchase the cards separately or create your own.

2 jokers and size relates to print not size of cards. THey are regular playing card size.

depending on the thickness (like card stock) you can run 2 but I use one to make sure I have a clean cut regular paper 2 will cut cleanly if you are using a thin lit die a piece of waxed paper over it gives you a clean cut I love mine and use it all the time it's the best investment I've made for my scrap booking and card making

There are two, but the two jokers are identical so you will have to mark them if you are playing a game with high/low jokers.

I think I got three pairs of duplicates witch one contained three of the same card. The cards you get with this deal are a good base for your deck. But their are no high level/attack cards to base around. So if you got alone of high level cards that need cards to support them then this is for you. But else, you will then need to get some stronger cards. This is off of my experience with my order and as the description says, it is royalty random. So I cannot guarantee that you will get the same amount of duplicates as I did, or any other amount. I hope this helped and if you have another question don't be afraid to ask :)

I played last night with just two and it worked perfectly. Some of the Sheldon cards aren't really beneficial for just two players but overall it works. :)

As to specific game...IDK. They are paper cards w/ punch out numbers. Hope this helps.
