Controls

Play is handled entirely through straightforward point-and-click card interactions, keeping the focus on strategy rather than on learning a control scheme.

Scoring

Score by melding sets of seven or more cards into Canastas, with natural and mixed builds carrying different point values across each of the four game modes.

When does a round end?

A round ends when a player or team goes out by discarding their final card after meeting the minimum meld requirements, triggering a full tally of points for both sides.

Tips & Tricks

Start melding early on easier difficulties to get a feel for point thresholds before stepping up the challenge
In Team Play, coordinate your discards carefully — what looks safe for you may hand your opponents a pickup they need
Speed Canasta rewards quick decisions, so practice recognizing meld-ready hands in standard mode first
Check the statistics screen regularly to spot patterns in where you lose points most often and adjust your draw strategy accordingly
