Ratings and reviews

If it had a few more features it could be a 5 star game. 1. Add the ability to change some of the rules is the most important, especially how many points to play to and change to need at least 1 natural canasta to go out. 2. Fix the graphics so the North player is actually visible, especially at the end so you can see visible cards (move runnung score) Fix these and it's a 5 star game. 3. Ability to change card fronts/backs and boards would be a bonus; not really necessary, but would be nice.

Plays well. Only glitch seems to be when down to two cards, including one wild card and no canasta. Cannot play those two cards to complete canasta and go out. (A legal play) Have also been trapped with two wild cards and unable to go out. Today all four players were down to one card each and we ended up playing out the deck because no one could complete a canasta.

The game looks nice, but the AI goal is to close a hand as soon as possible. My "partner" continually screws me over by going out when we have complete control over the deck and I have a ton of cards. It's extremely frustrating and I'm going to look for a better option...
