CANASTA!!!!!!



So my mom and I played a game called Canasta. I absolutely love this game. Whenever I play this game I get lost and totally tune out everything around me. It has been my mom and my "thing" for as long as I can remember.

This game really is all about strategy. When you should put cards on the board or when you should keep them in your hand. You have to time it just right or you could miss out on a great opportunity. My playing style is "hording". I hord all my cards in my hand until the last second. This style can either play to my advantage or it can really hurt me in the long run. One way, is that nobody will know what cards I have so they could play one I really need. On the other hand somebody could "go out" and I would have to eat all the points that were left in my hand. Is all about timing.

Games like Canasta really can be compared to everyday life. You can play like like you do Canasta. For example like a new job, you can tell the ALL your skills right when you get hired to get looked apon in a better light, or you could hord some of those skills and when you go for a promotion show off the skills they never new you had. Its all the way you play the game of life. Personalities are all different therefore we all choose different paths to take.
