Our online version of Canasta features a variety of gameplay modes, including single-player and multiplayer options. You can challenge friends and family, or compete against other players from around the globe in our online game modes. Canasta is a card game of the rummy family of games, believed to be a variant of 500 Rummy. Although many variations exist for two, three, five, or six players, it is most commonly played by four in two partnerships with two standard decks of cards. Players attempt to make melds of seven cards of the same rank and "go out" by playing all cards in their hands. Canasta uses two complete decks of 52 playing cards (French Deck) plus the four Jokers. All the Jokers and Twos are wild cards. The initial dealer in Canasta is chosen by any common method, although it should be remembered that there is no privilege or advantage to being the dealer. The dealer shuffles the pack, the player to the dealer's right cuts, and the dealer deals out 2 hands of 11 cards to each player. The remaining cards are left in a stack in the centre of the table. The player to the dealer's left has the first turn, and the play then proceeds clockwise. A turn begins either by drawing the first card from the stock into the player's hand or by picking up the entire discard pile. If the card drawn from the stock is a red three, the player must play it immediately and draw another card. A player "goes out" when no cards are left after a meld or discard. A player is not permitted to go out, however, unless there's at least one canasta. In the game of canasta, a meld comprising seven or more cards, including at least four natural cards (called a "base"), is a canasta. The team that first reaches a total of 5,000 wins a game.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Canasta! at none against Bezique!'s 2. Canasta! also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.6) and ratings volume (163 vs 25). Bezique!'s advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 17%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Canasta! holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Canasta! has 163 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Canasta!'s written reviews are positive against 33% of Bezique!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
