This club is for you if you enjoy a little strategy, a little luck, and a lot of fun.
Gather around the table for exciting games, friendly competition, and plenty of laughs with fellow Samba enthusiasts.

Samba is a variation of Canasta which allows both standards melds (groups of cards of the same value) as well as sequences (cards in numerical order in the same suit) to score points. The game is played by four players forming teams of two. A Samba match consists of four rounds with minimum point values of 50/90/120/150. A team must complete one Samba, five red Canastas, one black Canasta, one Canasta of sevens and one Canasta of wild cards to end a round.

The club meets the 4th Monday of the month from 11:00 to 2:30 at Outback Steak House at 8338 Pineville-Matthews Rd. in Charlotte. Lunch is optional.
