Okay solo/stupid partner May 11, 2010
S. Schutze (Washington State)
I bought this for the gin rummy which I enjoy. However, I just started playing canasta and find myself constantly screaming at my "partner". I don't have to repeat the horrid discards the partner makes that are absolute nonsense. I no longer even ask to go out because the partner has no brain.

I would not recommend this game. The Hoyle card game is a lot better than this one. I had this one and wasn't that happy so I decided to try the Hoyle one and I have uninstalled this one since I have gotten Hoyle. If you do not like playing with caratures then you may like Masque better.
Canasta is not the best! July 6, 2006

This game is for 4, not 2. Your parner is not a good player even on the High Skill. If you have 6 cards in a meld, she will throw away the 7th card. It is not written well, but it is the only Canasta game I can find for Mac-OS X Tiger. I guess it is better than nothing. Even on the High Skill, it is easy to win.
Need better AI! Or better Canasta player to program! June 28, 2006

This is the only Canasta game I could find for Mac OS X-Intel, so I am very grateful to Masque for that. But compared to my old Hoyle game, I am disappointed. I scream at my computer partner at least once a game. We have 6 Queens in a meld, and she throws the 7th Queen into discard? I have played close to 100 games now, and I have yet to see my opponents, or even partner, freeze the discards- very strategic in Canasta. The Spades game is better as far as play, High Skill is difficult to win, these players seem to know their stuff!! Solitaire is ok.
 Lots of card games, but poor AI June 8, 2006

I've played hearts, cribbage, spades, crazy-8s, and freecell on the Macintosh version of this game and it's only average. It suffers from the same problem most card game software does--it doesn't feel like playing with other people. On the "medium" level the AI shuffles the deck in the machine's favor as you improve. Unfortunately this has the affect of making you think it's stacking the deck instead of playing better. Also, the "help" is poorly written--if you don't already know the card game the help is confusing--just buy the Hoyle book or Bicycle book to learn a game you're not familiar with--it could do with tutorials and hints to help you improve your game.
