Taking cards from the discard pile is not obligatory, it is possible to go out using the cards held if they reach the required valuation. If the two top cards of the stock deck are taken, it is not necessary to display cards, however, if the top card of the discard pile is taken then the player must go out. If a player’s hand is reduced to one card, they are obliged to announce this fact by saying “Pumpa” out loud and may not take a card from the discard pile unless the stock deck is finished. Taking the top card off the pile forces the player to take all the other cards that are in it. When the pile is frozen, that is to say when it contains a Red Three or wild card, it is necessary to have two natural cards in the hand equal to the top card on the pile in order to take it. The pile can also be taken when it is not frozen or when its top card is equal to that of a completed Canasta or that of an initial Canasta meld being played. The pile can never be taken by using two wild cards. After going out for the first time, that couple can take the discard pile without meeting the second condition, and as for the first condition, it is sufficient to have a card equal to the card on the top of the pile, with the other being supplemented by a wild card. The other cards that go to form the discard pile cannot be used until the cards held have been played and the points needed to go out have been reached, using the top card of the pile. It is not necessary to meet this second condition if a player “folds” when going out, i.e., showing all of their cards all at once. Only one player from each couple has to meet these conditions. 2 That the value of the cards that have to be displayed for the first time, in one or more melds, reach the points required to go out, including the value of the card onto of the discard pile.1 Have a natural pair matching the top card on the pile.To take from the discard pile for the first time, two conditions are necessary: The “hand” starts the game by taking either the two top cards off the stock deck or the card or cards from the discard pile. If the said card is a wild card, a Black Three or a Red Three, then another card is taken, placing it on top of the first card until the said card is none of the ones mentioned. The player preceding the “hand” deals out fifteen cards to each player, one at a time, placing the top card of the deck face up on the table to start the discard pile. Each pair of players shows their cards together, but their melds are played individually. The one who receives the highest card is the “hand”, with those holding the odd cards playing against those with the even cards. Four sequential cards of the same suit are drawn, one given to each player.
