This multiplayer Canasta card game app provides players with both an online and an offline mode option. Players can create tables themselves and enjoy playing this classic card game with their loved ones. Canasta is a game that has many variations around the world, and it is quite similar to other games like Buraco and Gin Rummy.
The app offers three types of variations, rules customization, as well as extensive statistics tracking. Players can choose to play Team Canasta, Solo Canasta or Speed Canasta for ultimate fun. Canasta is normally played with two standard 52-card packs plus four jokers (two from each pack), making a total of 108 cards.
Each player is dealt a hand of cards, and in the center of the table is a face-down pile of cards called the stock and a face-up pile of cards called the discard pile. The player to the left of the dealer plays first, and then the turn to play passes clockwise. A basic turn consists of drawing the top card of the stock, adding it to your hand without showing it to the other players, and discarding one card from your hand face up on top of the discard pile.
After drawing, but before discarding, you may sometimes be able to play some cards from your hand face up on the table. To play cards to the table in this way is known as melding, and the sets of cards played are melds. These melded cards remain face up on the table until the end of the play.
