cptoneleg asks me what is the ACABAR rule.In the 50s when i was at collage i played canasta nearly every night for 2 years The ACABAR rule came in when a player was in a hopless position during a hand.The player in this positin could call ACADAR and the hand would finish the opponent receiving 1500 points It introduced another tactic as the player inthe good position would try to conceal completed canastas in his hand and go out with a big total before his opponant called ACABAR, which he could only do on his turn. I used to have the 1953 rules but cant find them now My original question was what happened to this rule, does anyone know.I thought it was a good rule. please comment Robinmars

I did a search in Google and found nothing associated with Canasta for Acabar or Acadar. Must be something long gone or invented by your college friends

As you know there are many variations of canasta depending on the country.
I have played that variation for 4 people.
ACABAR means in my language and in castilian Finish. Well, i use to hate that version but i have to agree that it was very funny.
Have played also others variations.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
