the lassoed and branded cattle. They have closed loops
proving they have been roped. They can be melded in your
second meld and you can canasta them. 3s, 4s, 5s, 7s, and
Aces belong to the Curving Stick Ranch and must be released
(discarded). You cannot meld 3s, 4s, 5s, 7s, and Aces or you
are rustling (DQ). You can keep the red 3s as they are cow ponies.
Happy trails to you in your roundup. Remember: Kings and Jacks
only in your INITIAL MELD. On your second meld, you may play 6s,
8s, 9s, 10s and Queens. You may never meld Black 3s, and all 4s,
5s, 7s, and Aces. A red canasta in Jacks or Kings wins the game.
Play must stop or auto win is voided.
REMEMBER: DON'T EVER TOUCH THE PILE.

CRAZY RED 3S NTC

Tables Set Draw 2, 1 Can Out, No PU, allow wilds, No Timer, disable bots, points 5000
The REASON you set the table for 2-2-1 in this game, is you COULD
end up only drawing ONE Red 3. This is a hard game but a fun one
because you are at the "Dealers Mercy". You MUST WAIT until ALL
the Red 3s are out BEFORE you are allowed to put up canastas.
You can have canastas in your hand and be READY to go but you
CANNOT put a Canasta up until ALL the Red 3s are out.
After ALL the Red 3s are out you may put your canastas up,
but you need a MINIMUM number of canastas equal to the amount
of Red 3s that you have drawn to go out. So, if the Dealer only
gave you ONE Red 3, and your opponent got THREE Red 3s, you
only NEED a MINIMUM of ONE CANASTA to go out, HE needs a
MINIMUM of THREE canastas to go out. If you drew 2 Red 3s
and your opponent got the other 2 Red 3s, you both need
a MINIMUM of 2 canastas to go out. You may put up as
many canastas as you wish once ALL the Red 3333s are out.
Red Canastas or Black Canastas are fine. If you get all
4 Red 3s you lose the game. If the last Red 3 is the LAST CARD
in the deck, NO ONE gets to put Canastas up. Meld what you have
and SLAP THE DEALER.
REMEMBER: DON'T EVER TOUCH THE PILE.

CRAZY ROYALTY NTC

Tables Set Draw 2, 1 Can Out, No PU, allow wilds, No Timer, disable bots, points 5000
THIS TOURNEY IS ALTERNATING HANDS OF BLOODY AND SHADY ROYALTY
Hand 1: BLOODY ROYALTY NTC
You may meld anything you want, but cannot make any canastas until

CRYING FOOL NTC

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