Why,or is it me,it seems that most players now always want to play 1 canasta.Please correct me if i am wrong but 1 canasta rely's on the dealer and less on the skill of the player.

I think no matter what version of canasta you play it is more skill than luck---most of the time. If you are a good player, it may be aggravating to get cards that just don't fall right, but if you play well, you can win. What matters more, perhaps, is the total points being played. You need at least enough total points so that several hands can be played. Then, a player has an opportunity to recoop on a less than desirable hand, especially at the beginning of a game. For me, playing is what I enjoy. Of course, winning is great, but you can't win all of the time. SO I take the good with the bad. I just love to play.  BlueSun

Thanks for your opinion, yes to enjoy the game is most important,and you cannot win every game,i just think that 1 canasta is more luck of the cards and more and more players seem to want to play 1 canasta just lately, and i wondered why.When i first started to play on here most players seemed to play 2 canasta.

I enjoy 1 canasta more but will play 2 nastas. One is just a bit faster if u dont have a lot of time.

I agree with u completely. I don't enjoy one canasta and rarely play it. It is more luck of the wilds as u can go out fast without any planning if u get wilds. Also seems to be less chance of a comeback if u fall behind because of the ease of going out.
Some players tell me they prefer it but those don't seem to be tournament players as one canasta tournaments seem to be 4 players or fewer. It is good for variety it seems. Many play both.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
