WHAT IS CANASTA JUNCTION?

The #1 Modern Canasta app!

Play now for free the most thrilling and competitive variation of the card game Canasta!

If you know what Canasta is, you're aware that there are different Canasta variants: Modern Canasta (also known as American Canasta), Classic Canasta, Hand and Foot Canasta, Samba, Buraco, Canastra, Burraco, Tranca, and more.

While the mechanics are similar to Gin or Rummy, Modern Canasta is the ultimate version of the original Canasta, an exciting card game created in Uruguay in the 1930s.
If you already know how to play Gin, Rummy, or any other variant of Canasta, you’ll love Modern Canasta! If you are not yet a card player, you just found the perfect card game to start with!


HOW TO PLAY CANASTA JUNCTION?

You can play Canasta JUnction by downloading the application from the App Store, or you can play it using any web browser on your computer.

Canasta Junction is for everyone, whether you're a beginner or an expert!

You choose the type of play: Live Play (multiplayer), Duplicate, or Solitaire:

◆ Live Play: play and chat with friends or sit at a random table and make new ones! You may also create your own table for a private game and decide what the house rules will be. And if a player is late, you can start with a robot!

◆ Duplicate: compete with other participants by playing the very same hands! Here is how it works: in each duplicate tournament you play six hands against our robots, and then your final score gets ranked against many other players. Tournaments are held daily. Rule out luck and show you are the King/Queen of Canasta Junction!

◆ Solitaire: play a match of Canasta with three robots. You can practice at any time of the day for free! All completed hands give you experience points. The more you practice and play, the higher your Canasta Junction Rank will be!

Reverse technology

Help! I feel like I’ve gone back in time…the new version of CJ is awful. Print is too small, cards are too small. (You know these are mostly boomers playing this game. )
Game cards fly around too fast. The analog clock was better, it was easier to get a quick view of remaining time. At the conclusion of a hand you can’t see your partner or opponent’s left over cards so you can’t see if you would have made that wild card canasta or 7s canasta.
The opening screen has no aesthetic value at all, but makes it feel like some guy did the layout in his basement without knowledge of current technology. Really, I don’t think anyone likes the new version better. I may stop playing because I find the changes annoying.
First Murphy law; Don’t fix what is not broken!

Game Freezing

I have been using the Cansta Junction Ap for at least 2 years. I pay yearly for it. About 6 weeks ago the ap stopped working. I was able to reach the developer who was able to restore it after about an hour of trying. It was put on my apple computer because we couldn’t get it on the iPad, which is how I usually play. We also couldn’t get it on my iphone. I paid a second subscription fee that was to be removed after two weeks if it was running well. It was.
It came back to both my iPads and phone.

Now, it has stopped working again! I’ve reached out to the developer twice, and left a message on the ap service site. Still
NO CANASTA JUNCTION! This is not just my problem now, but the other players who have set aside time for our games. I’ve contacted Apple and everything is fine from their vantage point on my iPad.

To pay twice for something that still is freezing up, makes no sense. If this is not fixed soon, I’ll let many more people know about this issue.

Has anyone else had this problem and how did you resolve it??

Not loving it

A few issues with this game. First, since it automatically pulls the threes, it takes away at least one splash hand. The straight. My biggest issue is the computer constantly gives the robot opponents unbelievable hands. It’s not uncommon for an early play of three aces by the competitor on the left, and then the one on the right is immediately able to take it to six cards. There are multiple other examples. I’ve had multiple hands without getting any wild cards. The robot opponent is provided the cards that takes it to a win. When trying to play with live opponents, there are multiple joining errors. No explanation other than an error occurred. Another issue is it’s tough to find live players that allow newer CJ players, due to low rank as a newbie. Overall it’s frustrating.
