STEP DOWN NTC DRAW 2 1 CANASTA NO PICKUP WILDS YES NO BOTS In this game the Upcard determines what the Meld is to be. The next lower ranked card determines what the first canasta must be. If a King is the upcard then Kings have to be in the Initial Meld and Queens has to be your first canasta. If a 4 is the Upcard then you need 4's in your Initial Meld and you need Aces as your first Canasta. If the Upcard is a Black 3, Red 3, Wild or Joker then the game is played as Regular NTC. You can make more canastas after you have the canasta in the card you need. DO NOT TOUCH THE PILE. Good luck to everyone!!
