Special Hands

Declaring a Special Hand

If you believe you have a Special Hand and wish to declare, click on the Special button on the lower left corner of the playing table. If you have a correct special hand, it will indicate that the game is over because you declared a special hand. If you don't have the correct cards, it will also advise you.

​The list of Special Hands supported by Canasta Junction is available within the app under CJ Rules > Special Hands.

Are Special Hands Permitted in Duplicate Tournaments?

Yes, the same Special Hands are permitted while playing Solitaire, Duplicate Tournaments or Live Play games. Please note that the app may not include all the Special Hands described in the Canasta League of America's Modern Canasta Official Rules.
