GREAT GAME BUT DON’T BUY
ddd61
The game is fun to play. One of the only ones who follow the rules more closely. But, the writers have chosen to give almost all of the 2’s, the red 3’s , and the jokers to your AI opponents. Let me break it down: My hand: 1- joker; 2-2’s; No red 3’s AI hand: 3- jokers; 6-2’s; 6-8- red 3’s This is how the majority of my hands played out...occasionally I would get 2-3 red 3’s but nothing compared to the AI. Frustrating enough for me to write this bad review to hopefully warn others before they buy it. It would be great if the writers would pay attention to these reviews they want you to write and fix the problems that exist!!!
Misleading

This is not a “pro” version at all and it only plays four handed. The number of menu options is terribly limited as well. I’m sorry I spent money on this.
Can’t get enough

I love this game. I had the free version for the longest time. Yesterday, I upgraded to the paid version. It’s GREAT! Well worth the few bucks I paid for it...
Great game

Seems to change strategies so makes it much more fun. No rude players to make you mad!
I’m no expert, but...

...over and over I see my parter AI make horrible discards— wildcards, cards already in a meld, cards that would complete a canasta, etc. It is so frustrating to see!
It’s all in the cards

This started out fun because I could win most of the time. As I played more more it seemed to favor the opponents. As others have commented, the partner will discard a card would complete a pure canasta or discard in favor of the opponents. Frustrating
Fun and addictive but partner is dumb

I wish there was a way to change the skill of my partner. HE makes many illogical and dumb moves and there’s no way to increase his skill. Maybe have several players to choose from, all different skill levels?? Good game but has major faults.
Violates rules of Canasta, can’t do two required Canasta games
canastacat3456789
Lets you pick up discard pile and use not only top card in your meld, but everything else in the pile to make meld. That violates Canasta rules, which say you can only use top card to make meld. No way to play a game requiring two Canastas to go out. The problem of only can use top card in pickup pile to meld is a serious problem!
Game ending if drawing red 3
Dimwittater2001
Ok...for the most part the game is ok other then the bots being stupid...but what I find frustrating is if you draw a red 3 on the last draw of the pile the game ends without you being able to play cards you have in your hand! This needs to be fixed!
