A calm table, built for real play.
Everything you need to learn the game and enjoy a daily hand — and nothing you don't.
A fair computer table
Three rule-based players follow the very same rules and never peek at hidden cards. No rubber-banding, no rigged shoes — just honest partnership canasta.
A coach at your shoulder
Optional, in-the-moment hints explain a useful move right when it matters — then step back out of the way once you've found your footing.
Transparent shuffles
Every table shows its deal ID. The shuffle is derived from that ID, so you can replay the same hands after a completed game — a shoe you can actually trust.
Your house rules
Play by the book, choose a ready-made variation, or build and save a complete preset that matches the table you know at home.
Comfortable by design
Large-card mode, reduced motion, and an adjustable computer pace. Portrait-first, made to read easily and sit with for a while.
From your first lesson to a finished book.
The interactive lesson
Learn the table by touching it.
No wall of rules to read first. The lesson hands you cards and asks you to make the play — draw two, build a meld, use a wild card, and learn when you can go out.
- ✓ Six short, guided steps
- ✓ Real cards, real taps — not a video
- ✓ Ends by dealing your first full game
Opening the table
A new meld needs at least three cards of one rank. Suits do not matter. Tap the three Kings below.

Select exactly the three Kings, then the table will confirm your meld.
Books & going out
Watch a pile become a book.
Collect seven cards of one rank to close a book — worth 500 clean, 300 dirty. Fill your books, get both partners into their feet, and go out to end the round on your terms.
- ✓ Clean & dirty books, scored automatically
- ✓ Red-three bonuses banked for you
- ✓ Clear round-by-round scoring

Good to know before you sit down.
Is it really ad-free?
Yes. There are no ads, no coins, no gambling, and no cash prizes anywhere in Meld Club — on the free table or with Plus. The membership is what keeps it that way.
Can I play for free?
Yes. The lesson, Rookie opponents, optional coaching, basic local statistics, one new solo table each day, and one hosted private table every 24 hours are included at no charge. Joining an invited table is always free. Plus adds unlimited hosting and solo tables, Club and Expert opponents, complete saved house rules, advanced progress, and premium collections.
Can I play with real people?
Yes. Create an unlisted four-seat table and share its six-character code or invite link with up to three friends. Opposite seats are partners, and computers fill every unclaimed seat. There is no public matchmaking queue or free-text chat.
What does "transparent shuffle" mean?
Solo tables retain their reproducible deal IDs. Private tables publish a cryptographic commitment before each deal and reveal the secret seed after the round, so the app can verify that the deck was not changed after play began.
How do I cancel Meld Club Plus?
Manage or cancel any time from your Apple ID subscription settings on your device — Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Canceling stops the next renewal; you keep Plus until the current period ends.
What data do you collect?
Offline games, preferences, and progress stay on your device. Private tables use a random anonymous Firebase identity and temporarily store the cloud game state needed for live play; each player can read only their own hidden hand. Pseudonymous analytics and diagnostics can be turned off in Table Settings. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
Does it work on iPad?
Yes. Meld Club is built for both iPhone and iPad, with a comfortable portrait-first layout and large-card and reduced-motion options.
Your table is set.
Learn in minutes, practice solo, or share a private code and let computers fill the empty chairs.
Free to download on iPhone & iPad — the lesson and a daily table cost nothing.
