Club members embraced the idea, and a new card game was born, right here in Sun City. After further discussions and some trial-and-error experiments, Sue decided to draw up a new set of rules for a variation of Canasta. She became the leader of a process to come up with a variation because of her energetic and enthusiastic personality.
In the dialog above, Sue was Sue Henberger. Most often, such conversations would be quickly forgotten. Sue: Could we change the requirements for the number of Canastas? Or change the way we use the red 3s?”Įllie: Let’s see what some other Canasta Club members think?” Imelda: “There may be lots of variations, but I’m not sure we could all agree on them.”
Jack: “I’m bored with this game, is there a way we could play it a different way?” The conversation reportedly went something like this: SUN CITY – It was New Year’s Eve, 2005, and a foursome in Sun City was celebrating by “dealing” in its favorite card game, Canasta.
