MAKE ALL TABLES DRAW 2 CARDS, 2 CANASTA, RATED, PRIVATE.
In the game you must have "dirty 4s" and "dirty 10s" (4 & 10's melded with 2s only, NO JOKERS) before you can make any canastas. You DO NOT need to have your "dirty 4s" and "dirty 10s" in your initial meld. And you do not have to meld your 4s and 10s "dirty"; you can add the 2 later. If you canasta before you have "dirty 4s" and "dirty 10s" or if you use a joker with the 4s and 10s, you will be DQ'd. YOU CANNOT CANASTA 4s or 10s, ever! You can NOT pick up the pile, but you can go out at anytime.
