***BOOKENDS*** 2 CANASTA You must have 4s and Aces melded first (Like Bookends) before you can meld anything else. You can meld the 4s and Aces together or on different turns. Once you have the 4s and Aces melded you must wait until your NEXT turn to meld anything else. You can make a canasta of either Aces or 4s at any time. You may pick up the pile!
