About the game
Play Canasta with computer partners or opponents. Collect cards of the same rank, complete canastas and plan when to draw from the discard pile.
Getting started
Play with two decks and four jokers. Deal fifteen cards for two players, thirteen for three, or eleven for four; four players form opposite partnerships.
How to play
- Start the turn by drawing from the stock; in two- and three-player games you draw two cards. Taking the discard pile has special conditions.
- Select at least three cards of one rank and prepare a meld. You may prepare several groups before confirming them.
- Add matching cards to your own or your team's melds. Seven cards of the same rank make a clean or mixed canasta.
