Nice game

Solid 5 for playability , one of the best Canasta games I’ve played on the iPhone

Seems like all the reviews are ages old

I would think there would be some newer reviews. If what’s here are 12 and 13 years old, I’m sure improvements have been made. I play this game against the computer. I would like to see a better partner. Since you cannot make a wild card canasta, you have no choice but to make dirty canasta’s, which results in fewer points. Being able to pick up the discard pile if you have the cards on the table is not conducive to competitive play. I can add more, but the bottom line is that I play every day and enjoy the game.

Dosen’t Let you finish game

When you pick up a lot of cards it will not let you play them out into books. Game will just stick and go no further, also sometimes person playing against does not put card out.

Canasta improvements needed

My partner has the meld but throws jokers away which is wrong. Keep improving it.

Lots of fun

Great way to relax
