Statement from the app creator:
"This game started as a personal project made just for my grandma. I wanted her to be able to play Canasta Hand and Foot on her tablet the same way we play at family gatherings, without having to worry about predatory advertisements or in-app purchases. I crafted this game for her with love, and now I want to share it with you as well! If you like games with lots of cards, strategy, and chance, then I think you'll enjoy Canasta Hand and Foot!"

Ratings and reviews

My experience is the same as many others. The game layout, controls, and presentation are outstanding. Unfortunately, the opposing bot team seems to get some clear advantages. If you play long enough some rather "unstatistical" patterns emerge. Perhaps in the future the developer can improve the bots and make the team play more realistic. I don't play singles, so can't comment on that mode.

Been playing this game for quite awhile. I loved it for the longest. Seems like in teams AI is just a little too good at winning. Game is starting to be a real downer. Used to love to play it before bed to wind down. Actually considering deleting it all together. Yes I know there's mutilple skill levels. Doesn't matter, losing over and over at a game I've played for years, just isn't fun at all.

Visually this game is great and the controlsv are simple and intuitive. The frustration is with the computer players. I'm not horrible at Hand and Foot but I've only won 9 out of 25 games. The opponents play beautifully. Your partner is horrible though. Uncle Nick, this is an amazing first game! Congratulations! Please consider making a 2 player variant though so I can go 1v1 with the CPU and it will stop aggravating me. Still completely worth the money and I'd buy again.
