(The game automatically makes the purchase through the Apple store.) Or you can earn in-game tokens by leveling up at 2-handed Canasta, but that will take quite a long time. If you want to play 4-handed Canasta, you have to unlock it by buying tokens for $5 in-game. You can continue to play 2-handed Canasta as long as you want after the initial purchase. The game starts you off with 2-handed Canasta, which is an easier version of Canasta. But this software would be a great way for a beginner to get into Canasta. So it's not really for the experienced player. You're even allowed to "cheat" and ask for an extra joker if you want it. Instead, the game offers a beginner's version of Canasta: Initial meld rules are simplified, you're given a head start on points, and the game prompts you with pulsing lights on what moves you can make. My biggest complaint is that the software package doesn't offer "traditional" Canasta. So while you know whether you won an actual hand or not, you have no idea if the score is accurate or if the meld and canastas that appeared during the game and sometimes disappeared were counted or not. When that happened mid game I tried to back out to the Home page then resume the game, but instead of resuming the current Hand & Foot Game, it resumed a Canasta game that I never started. In Hand & Foot when you start a new hand, sometimes the draw pile is there and sometimes it isn’t. The little icon for a full canasta suddenly shows up in my hand of cards not yet played and disappears entirely from the meld. Or the bar shows up but there are no cards showing, so you have no idea what cards are in that meld. The little box that shows up below each meld showing the number of cards and points seems to randomly disappear. At least once I noticed that one portion of the two players scores were actually swapped. On the scoring page the score doesn’t equal the card count and canastas shown. These would be great games, but there are major programming glitches.
