Leave a Review Canasta Card House
Computer tends to cheat
Funny how the player is not permitted to take cards off the table but with as little as two cards face up, the computer can snatch them up and suddenly half the deck is on the computer’s meld and “Mary Beth” wins again. After a few losses like this, the game reminds you of your progressive loss to add a little more insult to the injury. I’ll keep looking for a better game with clearer instructions.Show lessBlack Knight 450
Frozen pile option is a hoax
I am new to canasta and started liking this game until I figured out the rules. If you choose the frozen discard pile option the rules say that it freezes it for all players. Well, it only does for yourself. The dealer Mary Beth can still draw whenever she wants even with this option chosen. I thought it was a good feature at first since I was a newbie a few weeks ago but now I realize she/computer totally has the advantage on you this way. So don’t use the freeze pile option. Set it to unfrozen or else you’ll lose almost every time. Also, you can tel the computer is cheating because she’ll have 3-4 of the 20 point cards of same suit in her meld and she’ll discard them after picking up the discard pile and playing a few other melds. Sad fully I’ll be searching for another canasta game because this one doesn’t seem to allow me to become a better player.Show lessmetalkelly
It’s fun at first.
In the beginning it’s fun to play. Then, after you get to about level 5 1/2 the bot or ai kicks in & say you put 3 jacks down, and the pile gets frozen, then the bot will throw 4 to 5 jacks on the pile in a row. Then if you manage not to give the pile away, it automatically knows what cards you only have 1 of in your hand. So you usually end up giving the pile away, or say that you actually get the pile, you had better put all your cards down, because the bot will go out on the next turn. Not very realistic at all!!!Show lessSmartfixerman
Fixed
Impossible how much computer opponent always has exactly what they need. Impossible. I play all the time and it is not near reasonablekvcheffy

Adds
Love the game, only problem that I have had is random freeze between hands with some adds. Latest one is for ultra mm.shergen1
Love love love this game
What an awesome concept and I’m totally addicted. Like the others have said it can be challenging and frustrating that the computer players have an advantage but it has challenged me to become a better player. Many of the other canasta games is boring in that you always win so I love the added aspect of it being harder. I also love being able to decorate your home and appearance but wish they would update more things to update your home and self. Overall I would recommend this game 100%.Show lessgirlwithcamera
Computer cheats!
Computer is able to pick up Everything that is thrown down while Never throwing down anything in your hand. Not just occasionally but all the time. Would like to find a Canasta game that doesn’t cheatSja716
Fun to play but can’t play against a friend
I’ve enjoyed playing against computer opponents in order to reach level 2 so I can host a game with a friend. However when I try to invite a GameCentre friend, it displays a Failure when attempting to send the invite. If I then send them an iMessage invite they say they are able to join my room and see my caricature but on my end it just sits there waiting for them to respond to the invite. When I eventually give up waiting, they receive a “Could not join. Host player did not connect” dialog.Show lessiiNetter
Fun with friends
It takes a little setup but I’ve really enjoyed playing my friends and the decorating bonus is fun.dyh629
