Does this version of canasta have to have a partners setup for play, or can you play one on one against the computer?

You set up your face and you play against only computer partners. For Canasta, it is 4 players, you and a partner and two others. You are the only real person but you can select your preferred computer people to play with. I personally like Harley and Jack and Elaine.

If you mean on the same computer, then no. You can have 2 copies and play over the internet with more that 2 people though.

Two people can play together but you'll need to have two wires to play and it local play not over the internet

Yes, it works just fine with two players. We've played it quite a bit with 2, 3 and 4 players and all play slightly differently but are all just as enjoyable.

I'm not sure how the other player would play without the game. So I'm guessing yes you would need another copy to play with another person.

Yes, the game comes with one CD-Key, so every installation in a different pc needs a different key in order to play on lan or multiplayer

I believe you can load to more than one computer. My son says you do not need space bar to play

Paul, wish that was an option, I have the Zeus II and it will only play on my computer when a disc from EFX is inserted (it doesn't have to be specifically that disc)

You can play if you select play without connection, and then play single player. Try by this way.

Hi Roseola. Although I never tried, I checked it out for you and it looks like "no". You may play against against the clock, or take your time; play yourself (solitare), the computer (and choose from 8 levels of difficulty) or against a human (who puts in their own identity) and plays against you wherever the two of you may be. Sorry about that, but I did not see internet options. It did, however, have some interesting perks: Auto Word Validation, Pop-up Hints if requested, and a few "Best Plays" if you ever just get stumped, as well as, a Merriam-Webster Official Scrabble Dictionary built right in. Hope you find what you are looking for.

I think you can install on two computers. They don't have to be the same platform (we have it installed on a mac and a pc).

We've used 2 decks for six players and it worked well. The only draw back is that your draw card pile will go down faster, so making a canasta is much more challenging even with a partner.

Hi Paulo, I really doubt it, unless you were to use something like PlayOn http://www.themediamall.com/playon

As best we know is that Classic Canasta uses 2 decks (including jokers) for 2, 3, 4 and more players. With Classic Canasta the number of dealt cards changes with the number of players. eg. 2 players 15 cards dealt, 3 players 13 cards dealt and 4 players 11 cards dealt. There is a version of Canasta that uses 3 decks for 6 players. A Google search on the rules will help you a lot. Hoyle web site has rules as well as many others. Best of fun to you...

The game is a disk.You don't need internet to play alone, but if you are connected you can play with others.

My dad has played all the scenarios with a single character. It's very challenging. However if you wanted to play one or more characters simultaneously then it's totally possible.
