American Canasta

The game is a lot of fun, sometimes you get lucky and get a lot of wild cards and sometimes you don’t, I was a little upset in the beginning, but it all evens out the more games you play. I would give it 10 stars if that was available.

There is no good tutorial for this app. There are several actions I don’t know how to change and\or happen but I don’t know why. I’m also new to canasta, there are written rules but during play actions happen and I don’t know why. I also don’t think the deals are real world. The hands definitely cycle through favoring a team or player. It will cycle around and end up favoring you at times but they are not what happens when you play for real.

This app was addictive at first. But with me being a new player and the game not having any levels or anything I find myself losing quickly and often. It’s hard to learn and excel at a game when you’re not able to actually play. Also I don’t understand why the bid to get in a game is $1 but you only receive $.5 if you win. This means that even if you’re winning you’re going to run out of tokens very quickly. This would be fine if they had more ways to receive free coins. As much as I’d like to continue playing it’s become a waste of time and money.
