My partner picked a 3 and it was the last card of the deck. She wanted to go out and was told she couldn't because of the 3 being the last card picked. Is this right?
Thanks

It is, as long as the card was a
red 3.

If the last card in the stock is a red three, game ends immediately. The person who has drawn this card may not discard.
Thank you for answering. Why just a red 3 and not a black one?
@amyberta,
Sorry, I really don't know that. I don't even play Canasta. It looks like a fun game, though.
Here's an even better site for more on the games's rules:

It talks a bit about the difference between red and black 3s.
Stumble It!
