Cracked Mirror Tables 2/2/2 Rated/Protected
You may not meld anything your opponent has melded. Whether it is canastad already or not. The only circumstance in which you may meld what your opponent has down is if you make it directly into a canasta. EXAMPLE: Jane has queens down on the table. Linda has 3 queens in her hand. Jane discards a queen, Linda has 3 queens plus 3 wilds, and therefore she can pick up the pile and make a canasta out of the queens. So she must first highlight the 3 queens, and the 3 wilds, and then click on the pile with the mouse and when the wild meld box comes up she must put all three wilds on the queens. This is the only way she can pick up the pile. If she had only 2 queens she could not pick the pile up because she wouldnt have a canasta out of the cards. In other words Jane had melded Queens First, Linda cannot meld Queens now but if she had 3 Queens in her hand, she could pick up the pile on Queens and put it directly into a canasta As Long As Is Never Hits The Table. If Jane puts up a canasta of Kings Linda Still cannot meld 3 kings after Jane has made a canasta they must be used as discards. You cant let them hit the table or you are Dqd. NOTE: The real trick to Cracked mirror is Meld Fast your opponent cant meld what you have laid down so meld fast in this game

You must to wait until ALL the red 3s are out before you are allowed to put up canastas.

After all red 3s are out you can put your canastas up, but you need a MINIMUM number of canastas equal to the amount of red threes that you have drawn to go out So if the Dealer only gave you 1 red 3, and your opponent got 3 Red 3s, you only NEED a MINIMUM of 1 canasta to go out, he needs a MINIMUM of 3 canastas to go out. If you drew 2 Red 3s and you opponent got the other 2 Red 3s, you both need a MINIMUM of 2 canastas to go out. You may put up as many canastas as you wish once all the red 3333s are out. Red Canastas or Black Canastas are fine. If you get all 4 Red 3s you lose the game. If the last RED 3 is the last card in the deck, no one gets to put canastas up.

Go Fish Doubles Tables 4/2/2 Rated/Protected
THIS GAME REQUIRES THAT KIBITZ MUST ALWAYS BE TURNED ON SO THAT THE TD CAN SEE ALL CARDS. MANY, MANY HATFIELD AND MC COY FUEDS ARE AVOIDED BY THE TD KIBITIZING DURING THIS GAME. IN SMITTYS LEAGUE IF THE TD CANNOT KIBITZ THE GAME FOR YOU HE/SHE WILL ASSIGN A VALUED PLAYER TO ASSIST AND KIBITZ. Throwing a black 3 entitles your PARTNER to ask their opponent for a card, NOT YOU. Sally and Sue are playing Jack and Joe. Sally throws a black 3, Sue (HER PARTNER) immediately gets to say, "Jack do you have any Queens?" Jack must throw the Queen to Sue or say, "Go Fish" and discard as usual. This becomes a lot of fun because when you throw the black 3, it is your PARTNER who immediately gets to ask for a card. HINTS AND TIPS FOR GO FISH If Sally asks you for a 6 and you have a 6 in your hand and you DRAW two 6s. You may meld and go out with NO DISCARD. You are completing your play by going out. You may NOT however meld the 6s Sally asked for and throw her a 10 as an out discard. She asked for 6s and in that case you MUST throw it. The only time you may meld what Sally has asked for is if you are going out WITH NO OUT DISCARD. If Sally has just asked Jack for a Queen and Jack said Go Fish toss Jack a Queen he doesnt have any. No need to guess the TD is kibitzing remember? You DON’T have to pick up the pile when you toss a Black 3 and ask for a card. Use it as a blocking tactic. If Jack has 4 ACES on the table and Sally thinks he is holding 2 more for a possible red she can ask and make him toss it. She is not required to pick up the pile at all. She can use this as a blocking tactic. Yes, you can ask for a wild. It freezes the pile and you cant take it but many times it helps. Yes, Sally can ask Jack for a Black 3. Jack must throw it. Jack cannot ask for a card because he had to throw the black 3 to fulfil your request. This is another good tactic to use. Good luck and GOOOOOOO FISH!

Popsicle Tables 2/2/2 Rated/Protected
Do Not Touch The Pile Unless It Is Frozen. A wild or a 2 freezes a pile, a black 3 does not. A red 3 at the beginning of a game freezes the pile. So the idea in this game is to keep throwing away all your discards because no one can pick up the pile until it is frozen. Once someone freezes it, you may then pick up the pile as in regular canasta. If the pile ISNT FROZEN dont pick it up. NO POPSICLE

If player 1 makes a canasta in Queen's before player 2 does then player 2 has to make a canasta in King's. So whomever makes the first canasta (King's or Queen's) the other player has to make the other. You cant make a canasta in both King's and Queen's
