Stupid AI

Computer has constantly held on to incredibly large number of points. Very frustrating. I will not play the game until an update corrects it. Constantly throwing away cards that could be played.

Frustrated

Gets very frustrating when your partner doesnt lay down points when they have 3 of a kind or wild cards to meld; throws away cards that have been melded; hangs onto cards that could make a canasta; etc.!!! Almost like you are playing solo against 3 opponents!! Please fix glitches!!!

Canasta update

This update is really bad.... I agree with the previous comments! Please get this fixed once and for all.

Rules not followed!

It is very hard to play a game when the rules keep changing. If I have a card in my hand with an additional wild card, I should be able to pick it up but the game says I need two cards in my hand. The wild card counts, so I should be able to pick it up. This happens so often that I cant plan how to play the game. It might let me pick up or it might not. Dumb!!! And very, very frustrating. If its not fixed in the next update, Im going to dump the game. I dont play these games to be frustrated. Theyre supposed to relax me....

Decent Game

The game is ok but it annoys me that you have to pay extra to play properly (ie cannot pick up two cards like you would if playing normally).

Great version

Simplistic, no hand or foot, but for a free version Ive been playing it constantly while waiting for a family member at the hospital and it is great.

Poor partner

Fun game to play but you really have to work on the partner. They make such bad moves it becomes very frustrating to play. Eg. they will pick up the pile with 7 or 8 cards in it to lay down one 5 point card. Or ruin a natural meld by putting a 2 or joker on it. Please please do something about the partners ability. Thank you.

Fun game

Easy to play over and over again.

Fun, but needs some rule changes

The UI and ease of playing are great in this game, but Ive noticed a couple of rules that may need to be tweaked: 1. You can only use the top card of the discard pile and the cards already in your hand to go down. Ive noticed that if you have yet to go down, the discard pile gets automatically added to your hand and you can use all of those cards to go down. The rest of the discard pile should only be added to your hand once you are able to use the top card only. 2. I think I noticed once that the computer went down initially with only one natural card in their hand. For example they picked up a Jack but only had one in their hand. They then created a meld using the one Jack in their hand and the one from the discard pile along with a wildcard. In order to go down and use the discard pile you need two natural cards in your hand. 3. Not sure about this rule, but whenever I have played this game you cannot pick up the top card of the discard pile if it matches one of your mixed or natural canastas. That is, once you make a canasta, you cannot add to it from the discard pile. You can only add to it if you have that card in your hand. You may need to look into this rule.

Its a good game, but0

Im new at playing Canasta but now that I have learned the game I have seen some patterns that take some fun out of the game for me. The player to the right of my hand always seems to have a fantastic hand playing almost all of the cards at the start. I seldom have any threes in my hand at the beginning of my hand so the player to my left almost always takes my discard and goes with it. Also, when my turn comes first, and must play 120, I rarely have that many points so have to pass. We almost always win but I dont mind losing fair and square.

Best canasta game

Ive played other free canasta games and I prefer this one. Less intrusive ads.

Partner has severe mental handicap

I love canasta however even though this app is well done is terms of graphics, the actual game play is treacherous. For starter the opposing team always gets the threes. Black and red they always have ALL of them except maybe every 20 games I will start with a black one. What makes me despise this app is the computer parter it makes you play with. He will discard needed cards and slap down wilds on already needed canastas. Another big problem is the partner will "ask to go out" and on many occasions I say no and he goes out anyways.

Canasta card game

I grew up playing this game with our family. I enjoy playing it and all the wonderful memories it brings back.

Fun way to pass the time

Cannot figure out how to play my cards on my team melds. Only can play on mine
