-can choose if player is allowed to pick up the pile using cards already in the meld.
NOTE: Some players had a difficult time figuring out how to pickup the discard pile. To do this place two matching cards from your hand into the meld area and then make sure you have the appropriate number of points in your meld area to meet minimum meld, then, and only then can you move the top discard card to the meld pile that matches it. The two matching cards must come from your hand, not from cards already in your meld from previous turns.

Canasta is one of the most popular games ever invented. It is an exciting mix of strategy, luck and skill. If you like solitaire, hearts, euchre or poker, you will love NR Canasta! Hundreds of international variations of the game exist which is a testament to its worldwide popularity.
NR Canasta follows traditional North American style canasta rules as a default but allows players to configure the rule set in order to adjust to the many adaptations of canasta throughout the world. The list of customizations grows as we get feedback from our players.
**PLEASE KEEP YOUR SUGGESTIONS COMING AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO ADD OPTIONS IN THE RULES TOOLBOX AS I HEAR ABOUT THEM FROM YOU! All players in a game must be updated to the current version of the game! Players cannot custom configure rules when playing the AI yet. This is a result of needed to augment the API to allow rules to pass between players.
Latest reviews of Canasta NR HD app for iPhone and iPad
I have not gotten to finish a game yet I get to 1335 points and it goes to settings and I hit the back option and its waiting for me to discard but all of the cards are gone. Good thing it was only 1.99. Big disappointment
I bought this so I could play with friends and family. I have not been able to add a friend. It will not rotate with my iPad. I will never use it.
For a game that you pay for, this game needs some fixes. I have played 2 games so far that it will not let me pick up the deck even though I have met melding requirements. Very annoying! If this gets fixed, other than some setting adjustments, it is a fun game to play.
Strange rules and not the official ones.
Bought this app thinking it had a 4 player option (thats the canasta I am used to) and alas... was sorely disappointed. Any chance on a 4 player mode in the future??
