A Great Game

I have been playing this game for a few years and still love it!
THREE of my favorite games…Canasta, Spades, and Hearts all in one place!
This game is challenging but not overwhelming.
One little recent bug.
Recently got a new phone and now on Spades, the game is perfect until you get to the last hand. For some reason, players don’t all get dealt the same number of cards. I have uninstalled and then reinstalled but still the same issue.
Otherwise, this is an awesome app.

Not Quite There

Love Canasta… this could be a 5 star game if I wasn’t playing against 3 computers. I still win but it’s frustrating. My partner skips ask before going out even though it’s against the setting I marked. My supposed partner, hardly EVER picks up, deliberately discards in favor of the opponent. Please make this a great game!! It deserves to be!

FAQ

What is Canasta?

Canasta is a popular card game belonging to the rummy family, also known as Argentine Rummy. It's characterized by the use of joker cards, which adds an element of unpredictability and challenge to the gameplay. Players form melds and aim to create a 'canasta,' a group of seven cards, to finish rounds.

How do you win in Canasta?

The objective of Canasta is to score points by forming melds, which are groups of cards of the same rank. A special meld of seven cards is called a canasta. The first team to reach a score of 5000 points wins the game.

Is Canasta a single-player game?

No, Canasta is designed for team play. In this application, you play as a team with a computer opponent against another computer team. This setup allows for strategic partnerships and competitive rounds.

What makes Canasta challenging?

The inclusion of joker cards significantly increases the game's challenge and unpredictability. These wild cards can be used in melds and add a dynamic element, requiring players to adapt their strategies on the fly.
