Pogo may be testing out a new Canasta game option for players who want to further customize their gameplay. “Players cannot ever pick up the discard pile” will default to off, but can be checkmarked to prevent players from picking up cards from the discard pile. The option/rule would read as follows:
“Normally, players can pick up the discard pile if they have the required cards in their hand. If you would prefer to play a special game where the discard pile is permanently frozen and neither player can EVER pick cards from the discard pile, select this option.”
EDIT: This has been confirmed as an upcoming addition to Canasta, from today’s Letters to the Editor.
“GOOD NEWS FOR CANASTA PLAYERS! Soon, we will be releasing a “Frozen Pile” option in Canasta for those who enjoy the “no pile” version of Canasta. So– players can choose the “Frozen Pile” option in a game room (don’t click “Play Now”– choose a room to set up the options), and play the game so that nobody can pick up the pile (the game will not let you).”
