Capitalist Canasta is played with two standard decks of cards and a supply of money. Players attempt to make small melds and cash them in to get enough money to make larger melds which are worth more money. On a turn a player draws a card and then may make melds, but they have to be paid for: 5-10 cost face value but J-A cost significantly more. Deuces are wild. Cards may be added to existing melds by paying for them. Melds may be sold to the bank. Melds may also be raided with 3s and raids may defended against with 4s.
