Canasta HD - How do you play with friends?

my friend and I have been playing canasta together for eight years, in the new canasta, we can't even get to the same table, any suggestions on how we achieve getting to the same table?

[CM edit - Updated title for clarification]

    Hey there!

    I'll be happy to get you and your friends towards gaming together on Canasta HD.

    1. On the Canasta HD main menu, under Find a Friend, click Get Started to go to the Find a Table page.

    2. The person planning on Hosting the table will click on Create a Table at the top of the screen.

    3. Once the Host sets the table options, they can click Play Now to start the table up.
      • Do not start with robots while waiting, else that will close the seats out from people wanting to join.
    4. Players who want to play with the Host should now see the the table in the Find a Table page under Friends' Tables (if on your Friends list). If the table is not there and the Host is waiting with the seats open, click Refresh Tables under the Create a Table button.

    As for being able to watch another table, that's not possible at this time, however thank you for your feature request. I'll be sure to send that over to the Pogo team.

    I hope that helps!

    Hey there, @kathleendoxie.

    Chat is available in table games such as Canasta HD and Jungle Gin HD. If you'd like, you can use that to help organize games with your friends before setting up a table as host.

    Hey there, @Nawa3250.

    To create a table in Canasta, you can use the Find a Friend option, which allows you to join a table or create your own. 🙂 Here's a screenshot to help you out:
