The
MeggieSoft Games rendition of Canasta is a two-player game,
fully supporting both the "Classic Canasta" and the "Modern
American Canasta" rule sets.
Because
MeggieSoft Games Canasta supports both rule sets, they can be
mixed-and-matched. For the most part, this means selecting
individual Modern American Canasta rules as variations to the
Classic Canasta game..
Canasta utilizes the traditional MeggieSoft Games foundation
user interface, common to all our games. This incorporates
some new features specially created for Canasta, which include
the following. (The first four of these are also implemented
in version 15 of the other games, as appropriate.)
- "MultiSelect".
Using the right mouse button: click down and drag over a
series of cards to select them for melding. and then
release. If AutoMeld is active and the meld is valid, the
cards will be selected and melded in one action.
- "AutoMeld".
Automatically melds a MultiSelect group when the mouse
button is released, automatically melds a taken discard, and
enables the ability to double-click on a card to add it to
the matching rank meld. (Wild cards will be added to the
last meld played; cards of previously unmelded ranks will
create a new meld).
-
Step-by-step Undo: Because of the large number of melding
actions that can occur in a single turn, the undo facility
can either undo the last action or the entire turn.
Step-by-step undoing of each action of the current turn is
supported.
-
Customizable meld display: You will be able to specify that
melds are displayed in one of the following ways: in the
order played, sorted by length, sorted by rank, or in fixed
rank column positions.
