Canasta in Spanish means "Basket". Build your melds, score points, and outmanoeuvre your opponents to emerge victorious in this exciting and challenging Canasta online card game.

The principal objective of canasta is to form melds - combinations of three or more cards of the same rank - with or without the help of wild cards. (Sequences are not valid melds).

Our online version of the Canasta features a variety of gameplay modes, including single-player and multiplayer options. You can challenge friends and family, or compete against other players from around the globe in our online game modes.

Canasta is a card game of the rummy family of games believed to be a variant of 500 Rummy. Although many variations exist for two, three, five, or six players, it is most commonly played by four in two partnerships with two standard decks of cards. Players attempt to make melds of seven cards of the same rank and "go out" by playing all cards in their hands.

Canasta uses two complete decks of 52 playing cards (French Deck) plus the four Jokers. All the Jokers and Twos are wild cards.

The initial dealer in Canasta is chosen by any common method, although it should be remembered that there is no privilege or advantage to being the dealer. The dealer shuffles the pack, the player to the dealer's right cuts, and the dealer deals out 2 hands of 11 cards to each player. The remaining cards are left in a stack in the centre of the table.

The player to the dealer's left has the first turn, and the play then proceeds clockwise. A turn begins either by drawing the first card from the stock into the player's hand or by picking up the entire discard pile. If the card drawn from the stock is a red three, the player must play it immediately and draw another card.

A player "goes out" when no cards are left after a meld or discard. A player is not permitted to go out, however, unless there's at least one canasta.

In the game of canasta a meld comprising seven or more cards, including at least four natural cards (called a "base"), is a canasta. The team that first reaches a total of 5,000 wins a game.

Glitches will make you crazy!

I love this game and it is really hard to find someone that knows how to play this game. I learned to play canasta when I was a young girl but playing with my grandparents. I love to play, but I can’t find anyone to play nor can I find anyone who knows how to play. The one thing about this game is that whether you’re playing online with other players or off-line it seems that you’re playing with bots, and it never allows you to play the way you want to play whether you have enough points to play or not these glitches need to be fixed Period! I have a brain and I have strategies that I would like to use. I don’t need a computerized game, telling me how to play or deciding what card. This game is great otherwise, just very aggravating because of this and it does cost you to lose the game and a lot of points so otherwise I’m waiting for you to fix this so I don’t have to stop playing my game.

Simple Card Game & I Liked It

This is a simple card game app. It doesn’t really have bugs, it’s just the designer made it simple without a lot of bells and whistles. I like it.

Buggy

So as of this writing, there are two positive reviews which, honestly seem a bit suspicious. The game has a number of bugs including:
1) Allowing the AI to discard their final card without having a canasta, but not ending the game and having to draw one card the next round...which it can’t discard so you have to restart;
2) not recognizing that you have put the cards back after an unsuccessful meld with the discard pile, resulting in having to reset; and
3) to being able to discard when you have an unsuccessful meld from the discard pile resulting in having to reset the game.

Those are the last three I came up against in the last 15 minutes of playing. As mentioned by others there are issues with the rules (e.g. diamond red 3s are put to side and add 100 pts. each to your score while hearts do not for some reason and are treated like black 3s) which also can cause frustration. Unlike what another reviewer wrote, it is buggy, not just a very simple app.
