Fewer than half. A canasta has seven cards; the most wild cars is three. When building a canasta, the same holds true; if there is an even number of cards, say four cards, there can be only one wild card; if six, then there cannot be more than two wild cards. Hope this helps.

Also, SAMBA, in our opinion, is the best of all. Again, Canasta-type but much more challenging. We play with couples, and ladies play twice a week.
Send me your email address and I'll be happy to send you the rules for Triple Play and SAMBA.

All three games—Hand & Foot, Triple Play, and Samba—are canasta based. I agree that Samba is the best of the three, for this reason: All these games are to an extent based on chance with some skill involved; Samba requires the most skill and the most thinking. Enjoy; it's a lot of fun!
