Join CJ's GIVING TUESDAYS
|
In light of the exceptional outpouring of support from the Canasta Community, Canasta Junction wanted to give back in some way. We have therefore instituted Giving Tuesdays. Every Tuesday, we will donate 50% of all the sales of Duplicate Canasta Tokens to a charity combatting Coronavirus. Join Us this Tuesday and EVERY TUESDAY by buying your Giving Tuesday Tokens! This Month's Recipient is The Tunnels to Towers Foundation - COVID-19 Heroes Fund.
Duplicate Canasta, the only program of its kind, where players compete with the same deal against our computer robot, ACE. YOU are the only variable. Compete against your own score, or against others, Each Tournament plays SIX hands and requires 25 tokens. Every CJ member was given 50 tokens to start. Additional tokens are available through the ACCOUNT page (click on + TOKENS).
* Available on Ipad, Iphone, Mac & PCs. Must have internet access to play. |

App may be installed on multiple Apple mobile devices with the same Apple ID. Please check out Apple's Family Share for details
|
NOTE: BOTH OF THE PURCHASE OPTIONS WILL PURCHASE THE SAME APP, BUT FOR DIFFERENT SYSTEMS. THEY ARE NOT EXCHANGEABLE PURCHASES. So, if you purchase one for the iPhone, you will NOT be able to play on your PC. You CAN use one app for all Apple Mobile devices (iPhone or iPad) or one app for computers (either Mac or PC). But if you purchase for the iPad AND want to play on your computer, you will need to purchase separate apps. Please consider which option is best for you - obviously, playing on a larger screen is easier. Canasta Junction is no longer available for sale on Android or Kindle devices. If you have already purchased it, and downloaded the program, you can continue to play as normal. The app will continue to work but does not have all the features of the other versions.
**UPDATE FOR IPAD & IPHONE JUST PUBLISHED **
To update, close your app if it's open, then open the App STORE,
locate Canasta Junction and click on UPDATE.
Relaunch the App.
This update improves ACE and Robot play, increases the meld area making melding much easier, increases the time on the clock after picking the pack and other improvements in play. While connectivity issues are not coming from the APP, updating MAY help as you are reinstalling the app. If you continue to have connectivity issues, we suggest you run a speed test, and then contact your internet supplier to see what adjustments can be made to the router to open the connection.

HINTS:
1) Place your iPad or iPhone flat and use a stylus or pinky finger when you first start to place cards. Remember it is the placement of the FINGER or STYLUS that dictates where a card is going, NOT the card itself. Check out our video on Melding below to see what we mean!
2) In order to play LIVE games, you must REGISTER within the app. Go to: ACCOUNTS >> SIGN UP (on the right side of the page) and enter a unique username and simple password together with your email.
