What’s a canasta? A good game for one!
Sat Apr 13 2024 Floobus Johnson

I’ve never played Canasta before, as a card game or as an app. This makes it easy to learn the basics and start playing. Since I haven’t played before I can’t comment on the technical aspects or rules of the game. I’m enjoying this, having fun learning, winning and losing. I’ve had no problems running the app and the gameplay is smooth. Graphics are pleasing, rules are available anytime. I’ll amend this if anything comes up, gotta get back to the game!

Playing by same rules?

Although it’s fun to play, there are so many things that need fixing. The play seems to favor the computer opponent. And I have numbers to support this. For example, the number of times either player has 2 or more red threes should be random/ similar. However, in a bank of games I played, my “opponent “ had 2+ red threes 78% of the time and I had 2+ only 11% of the time. Not random. Also, the number of times I had a joker wild card during a time when I needed to play the 120 point meld was likewise significantly lower than my computer opponent. Lastly, there were times when I saw my opponent being allowed to meld using the top card of the discard pile. But when I went to make the same move, I got error messages saying I had to pick a card and that the discard pile was froze until I melded(which I believe to be correct). Why are there errors of play? These things significantly lower the enjoyment factor of the game. There are other examples too.

Not right

I have played canasta since I was a kid in jr high school and I am 62 now but this game is nowhere near being correct. First off you must have 1 canasta in regular cards 1 canasta in 7’s and wilds. That doesn’t happen here. When the pile is frozen it can only picked up with a natural pair and has to be from the top card not the middle of the deck. Half the time my computer partner don’t even play when I meld or we can’t play at all. Other team will get 2 and 3 jokers on deal and we have absolutely nothing. Honestly thinking about deleting the app. It’s not fun if that is the way the game is played on the computer end. Now the game finishes a hand with no canastas. I had everything to meld and it would not let me pick up the discard pile, so now it cheats too. Made a decision, DELETE!

Good Game but app favors computer.

Card games are always tricky to play with 3 "computer players". first off i record games sometimes and have seen the computer win with incredible odds that don't add up. also opponent get rewarded a discard pile by only placing two cards into a meld. (the rule is three) sometimes your computer partner won't place cards that would allow for the conditions that would allow you to score points for no real reason. if you were to actually track a game you'd see that 9/10 times the computer seems to pick up the exact card they need while constantly presenting you with the exact one you don't. glad i learned to play the game though ill be picking up a couple decks of actual cards and deleting the app.

Errors

Please fix the bugs. I love this game but the errors are ruining it. Scores are switched, games are ended "prematurely"; I have sent in a request twice now with no response I've written a couple of times (same review) but you seem to be ignoring me???? The game would be more of a challenge if you removed the algorithm that ends the game when Ai has calculated the winner before one team goes out. That would also make for a better learning experience.

Error in the game but loving it anyway

I am really enjoying this game. My stats are that I have won 2 out of 3 games. But I think some of my loss are due to error. When I have a meld of 5 cards and only 2 cards left in my hand the game won’t let me go out/down because I don’t have a canasta. But the 2 cards I have left would make a canasta. I think this is an error.

Few fixes options to fix

This is one of the best interfaces UI am finding. Two things I wish for would be the ability to set the speed of play. With the automated players going so fast it is hard to notice. The other thing that is frustrating is when the other team is going out it doesn’t show the full play before it cuts to an ad so you really only know they went out because an ad appears.

If I were in Vegas…

I would bet high every time because I would win getting large straights and royal flushes. It is like every other hand dealt where I literally have 0-1 pairs!!! The odds of this in real life as many times are very very low. Secondly I can’t tell you how many times my “partner” picks up the frozen discard pile and doesn’t play and when they don’t feeds right into the opponents hand!! Lastly, I had four of a kind down and holding 3 of the same card and a joker but when I tried to go out to make a natural the game wouldn’t allow it saying I need a canasta to go out!! 🧐😒😳
