So, be careful to check what rules you are playing when you accept a game! Pressing the i in the game screen will show you the rules of the game you are currently playing.
-now users can choose if a natural canasta is needed to go out
-can configure 1 or two canastas needed to go out
-can disallow wild card canasta
-can choose 1500 or 2000 points for wild card canasta
-can choose if player is allowed to pick up the pile using cards already in the meld.
NOTE: Some players had a difficult time figuring out how to pickup the discard pile. To do this place two matching cards from your hand into the meld area and then make sure you have the appropriate number of points in your meld area to meet minimum meld, then, and only then can you move the top discard card to the meld pile that matches it. The two matching cards must come from your hand, not from cards already in your meld from previous turns.

Canasta is one of the most popular games ever invented. It is an exciting mix of strategy, luck and skill. If you like solitaire, hearts, euchre or poker, you will love NR Canasta! Hundreds of international variations of the game exist which is a testament to its worldwide popularity.
NR Canasta follows traditional North American style canasta rules as a default but allows players to configure the rule set in order to adjust to the many adaptations of canasta throughout the world. The list of customizations grows as we get feedback from our players.
**PLEASE KEEP YOUR SUGGESTIONS COMING AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO ADD OPTIONS IN THE RULES TOOLBOX AS I HEAR ABOUT THEM FROM YOU! All players in a game must be updated to the current version of the game! Players cannot custom configure rules when playing the AI yet. This is a result of needed to augment the API to allow rules to pass between players.

1 Star because I can’t choose zero

Multiplayer doesn’t work. The only reason I downloaded it. Need a refund.
Thanks for the tweaks!

Since the recent updates, have found the connection with Game Center to be easier to figure out. Been a fan since the beginning. Keep it up.
The update is working great!

Update: The end of game is working now! When a game is completed, it moves to "completed games" and we can remove the game from there. Fun game to play. I always have 4 or 5 games going throughout the day. I am not experiencing any glitches. Great game. The end game sequence needs a little work but quitting and removing a game can be done. You'll need to hit the information icon (blue "i" in a circle) by the game you are wanting to quit/remove. On the top of right corner of the screen, you'll see the word "forfeit". If you hit the forfeit, the game will move to completed games. Again hit the blue "i" and in the top right corner, select "remove game." Overall, many improvements to the game. Gameplay is smooth. Still wish there was a guide to navigate the game. Some things are not intuitive to me. But, the developers are responsive to questions. Thank you for working on the iOS 7 patches until we stopped having trouble:) Love this canasta game! I can play different people with different sets of rules or I can play against the AI. The update fixed the glitches and I am really enjoying the game.
Terrible game!

Do not purchase this game... There are no players available and no robots to sub. Whoever designed this game should have known better!!! I rate this as a thumbs down!
Fun!!!

This is hands down the best version of Canasta on the App Store. I'm glad the Multiplayer is fixed.
End of game issue

When I win and the game is over, I have to completely get out of the game and renter in order to start another game. It's as if it gets hung up somewhere. Looks like that may have been a fixed issue, but it doesn't appear to have been fixed for me and I'm upgraded as much as possible And we need an UNDO button
It could be better

More than 1/2 the time it deals but won't let me draw & when I go back to main menu & try to resume game it deals a whole new game. Quite irritating!

The game freezes A LOT. When not frozen, playing against the computer is worthless because there is no challenge. Playing against live opponents is boring because there is no realistic time limit for turns. Terrible game. I'm going back to Yahoo Canasta.
