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.

Update: I deleted this game after reviewing it then reinstalled it. It was fun for a day and then found (again) that playing against a stacked deck is really not fun. I am permanently deleting it.

Too easy

Even when you select the hardest, you always win!

Frustrating to play

The games make ridiculous moves that make no sense.

Perfect accept ….

When you win a game, an obnoxious advertisement immediately covers the screen so you can’t even see that you won until you close it. So obnoxious, and the only drawback to this app.

Great version

Not all rules strictly followed but very enjoyable. I’ve played a few of the off line versions and this is by far my favourite. I am unable to change the game parameters but still prefer the view and way of playing over others I have played. Thank you!

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!

Several of the most popular games around all bundled into one great collection.
Spades, Canasta, Hearts and more!!
I love this collection!!

Why doesn’t my partner pick up the pile?

It’s so very frustrating when you were playing Canasta for four. You have a partner. And you literally watch one and then two and three times it passes by and your partner does not pick it up when they can. And then comes the next time and the other team picks up the pile and takes it all. What is the programmer’s logic to that? If I was sitting in the seat where my partner was I could’ve picked that pile up so many times. I could’ve made Canastas. What is their programming logic really?

Aaaahhhhh

Every time that your partner should pick up, they don’t, and then they discard a card your opponents need, giving them the cards you needed as well as the points they needed. Super frustrating waste of time.

Best 4 handed canasta I have played

I have not played canasta for years but this game is helping me get back in the game.

Engaging Game

I really enjoy this because I am challenged to make decisions that involve higher-level thinking. I don’t automatically win ever, yet I don’t feel like I’m struggling. This game really holds my interest,

Good, but not great

Good game, but my partner doesn’t always pick up a card that would have given us a canasta. Also, sometimes my partner will go out without asking me. It also doesn’t seem right that I win 90% of the games. I do like the board.

Macht genau was es soll

Eigentlich das perfekte Spiel muss ich sagen

Great practice for learning rules, card points and game flow

Great practice for learning rules, card points and game flow. A favorite warm up the day before I play Canasta with friends.

Gutes Spiel

Wirklich keine nervige Werbung. Läuft einwandfrei. Leider kann man die Geräusche nicht unterdrücken - weder in den Einstellungen noch über die Lautstärkeregler. Daher ein Stern Abzug.

Love It!

Fun, fast, accurate, and fair. Worth my time.

New interface is not cool

I played this game since day one, but the new interface sucks i deleted the app very disappointing
