Playing & rules
2Why isn’t the card distribution more even?
Cards are dealt through a randomizing system on our platform. That means sometimes you’ll be dealt a strong hand, and other times not so much—it’s all part of the game’s unpredictability.
If anything about the gameplay feels off or you have other concerns, we’d love to hear from you. We want our platform to be a place you truly enjoy.
What are some gameplay basics?
Players are automatically matched into games, and the first dealer is chosen at random.
The cards are shuffled using a random algorithm, so your hand will vary each round—some will be great, others not so much. Over time, things tend to balance out.
We aim to keep the gameplay true to classic Canasta. Got ideas to make it even better? Let us know!

5How can I get free tokens?
You can collect free tokens every four hours.
The number of tokens you get depends on your league rank. For example, players in League 1 receive 300 tokens, while League 15 players get up to 900.
You can also pick up more tokens by completing Missions and joining Tournaments—check the site for all the details.
