The Instructor

Ramon Gonzalez

Founder of All7s & Canasta Instructor

"I've been playing Canasta for years, so I know how overwhelming the rules can seem at first.

I also design Canasta sets and resources, so I wanted to create a course that strips away the confusion. My goal is simple: to give you a clear roadmap so you can sit at the table, play with friends, and actually feel confident doing it."
