Great Canasta Game

Five Stars

My partner is stupid

My partner doesnโ€™t pick up pile even when there are cards to make canastas in it always discards to give away pile Just find it so frustrating I want to quite playing getting so angry. PLEASE FIX IT

Really?

I have to admit that this game is addicting. I played over 400 games before I became very frustrated with how heavily weighed it is toward the computer. I really got tired of my "partner" blowing obvious plays to the benefit of the game. I also started seeing patterns in the play where I rarely got wild cards in the 120 meld games where the game always had enough to get in and siphoned off all of the good cards. Oh, and 3's, seems like the game always has a plentiful supply of them. I did win a high percentage of games but the frustration made it not worth it.

Perfect accept โ€ฆ.

When you win a game, an obnoxious advertisement immediately covers the screen so you canโ€™t even see that you won until you close it. So obnoxious, and the only drawback to this app.

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.
