Canasta for Windows Information =============================== Canasta is a strategy cardgame for Windows 95. It is the computer version of the classic Canasta game played all over the world. Canasta is played with two players. In this computer version that means you play against the machine or another person over a network. There are three difficulty levels, so you always have an opponent that matches your skills. Get to know the game, it's great fun! The evaluation version of Canasta has full functionality and no timeout limit. You can try everything and nothing has been disabled, so you have the opportunity to try the game before registering. The only limitation is that there are 25 different hands available. These hands are dealt in random order and you can play as long as you want. After 25 hands you will notice that certain hands will start to reappear. When you decide you want access to the full game with 1billions of different hands, you need to enter your registration key. You only have to do that once; the key will remain valid for future updates of Canasta. With registering, you also get the right to a free listing on the Canasta Internet Player List. This allows you to get in touch with other Canasta players! AUTHOR CONTACT ============== You can always contact me for questions or comments.
