COPYCAT NTC
<center><h1>COPYCAT NTC</h1>
<h2> Tables Set Draw 2, 1 Can Out, No PU, allow wilds, No Timer, disable bots, points 5000 <br>
This game is played like REGULAR NTC with one exception. <br>
You may NEVER meld ANYTHING your opponent has laid on the table. <br>
So, you want to lay down as fast as you can. You may Canasta <br>
something the other player HAS melded, as long as it DOES NOT <br>
HIT THE TABLE. You only need 1 Canasta to go out. <br>
REMEMBER: You may meld something your opponent has made to a canasta <br>
as long as you both at no time during the game have the same thing <br>
on the table. <br>

CRYING FOOL NTC
<center><h1>CRYING FOOL NTC </h1>
<h2>Tables Set Draw 2, 1 Can Out, No PU, allow wilds, No Timer, disable bots, points 5000 <br>
This game is played as NTC with a twist. The FIRST person to meld <br>
chooses 1 card in their original meld for their opponent to need <br>
in their first meld. You CAN make a canasta in your original meld. <br>
(EX: I melded 992, JJJ and AAA SO I CAN PICK BETWEEN 9s, Js or As for <br>
my opponent to have on their FIRST meld.... I pick 9s so I type at <br>
table 9s so opponent knows what must be in their first meld.) <br>
If the first person to meld only melds 1 card (let's say Aces) <br>
then that card is automatically the meld card needed by the <br>
other player(s). If the first person to meld melds more than 1 card <br>
as in the example above and does not name the card at the table <br>
before discarding, then it is a DQ. You repeat each hand. <br>
REMEMBER: DON'T EVER TOUCH THE PILE.</h2>
