red (a pure canasta of any value other than 5 or 7) – 500 points.wild cards (2’s and jokers) – 2,500 points.There are 5 required canastas, each with different values: The Knee is played when the first canasta is reached and the Foot is played when all cards from the Hand and the Knee have been played. All of this applies to Hand, Knee and Foot as well, but with additional hands (the Knee – a hand of 13 – and a Foot – a hand of 11). The discard pile may be picked up, with certain restrictions. Also, points are deducted for cards held at the end of the game. Like standard canasta, the hand initially consists of 15 cards and points are scored for canastas (7 of a kind), red threes and melded sets of 3 or more. This is a variation on canasta which requires six decks and nimble hands capable of holding 20 cards or more. One of our favorite pastimes is playing cards and our current obsession is Hand, Knee and Foot.
