Canasta Hand And Foot 17+

Beginner

Where I have played this game for many years & know the rules ..you get these people who say things as they don’t want to play with you & never even give you a chance also the wild cards shouldn’t be melded as it such an unfair advantage ..duh I am a beginner ( on this site but am a good player )and will keep trying as where I love the game and interacting with real people ..I thing the owners should listen to the people who have serious concerns .. going down so your partner can see your hand , when you don’t have enough points ..and if you try to ask a question or be nice nice ...no ans..

Terrible App

Update: the app is still terrible. They said they were working on a way to have no ads, and they come up with charging for monthly subscriptions. But, even if you buy in to that, you still have to purchase coins to play! If you run out of coins, you can earn 50 by-you guessed it- watching an ad every 24 hours. 50 coins per day. It takes a minimum of 500 to play a single game. And forget the “guaranteed random dealing.” This is so predictable that I know exactly which cards will come next. Don’t waste your time!

I love this game, but this app is clearly skewed. First off, you have to buy credits to play. But, then, after every game, you have to sit through FULL ads. That is super annoying. Secondly, the rating system is totally off. Players are rated A through E with the top being A. Players create their own tables, but E players can only play on E rated tables. A players can play any level. So essentially, the “better” a player is, the more they can choose to play “worse” opponents. This gives almost zero chance for new players to level up, as newer players are rated E. And most of the players in the E tables are A players…hmm…. The graphics are good, and this could be a great app, but the dealing is definitely not random. This game is absolutely one-sided.

Thank you for sharing your concerns, and we appreciate your detailed feedback. We understand that ads can be frustrating, which is why we introduced subscription options specifically to remove ads from the gameplay experience. Regarding the purchase of coins, subscriptions do not cover this as they are separate, and we've maintained rewarded ads as a benefit for players who choose not to purchase coins. Additionally, if players find themselves without enough credits to play a game, they should be able to get a free game per day.

Regarding your experience with card dealing, please rest assured that our system is designed to ensure fairness and randomness. Sometimes, the nature of probability can result in sequences that might seem predictable, but these are statistically random over a large number of games.

In terms of the rating system, we use an ELO-based system, similar to that used in chess. Players start at level C and can progress or regress based on their game outcomes. Higher-level (A) players earn fewer points for winning against lower-level (E) players, which maintains balance. Conversely, an E level player winning against an A level player will gain more points, rewarding their skill and progress.

We are constantly evaluating player feedback and looking into ways to enhance the gaming experience, including the possibility of adjusting access to game tables based on player levels for more tailored gameplay. We value your input as it helps us to improve and refine our game.

Fun, great format,..but unfair

2stars only because of great graphics and awesome format, but otherwise, just feel ripped off :(. I have played hand and foot for over 30 years and was so excited to see it here! I spent $15, thought it was a great deal. I enjoy the game, really good at it..have even won tournaments. But I realized pretty quickly that this app isn’t for the skilled. It’s dealers choice, and about luck. Game after game I was dealt singles, threes and kept from making canastas. All the while watching pones get perfect cards..game after game. People accuse others of cheating but I don’t see how you can. Sometimes I felt I was playing a bot. It’s great at first, they let you win, actually feel like it’s a game. I don’t care about winning or losing as much as I do about playing a fun, challenging game!. You have that at first, but soon after you go from 100,000 tokens to nothing in no time. So disappointed. $15 isn’t enough for them to at least deal fairly and allow skill to win? I would have purchased more if it was fair and fun, but they aren’t the only app so I will keep searching. I hope to check back again and see better reviews to play again.
