About the Bolivia leaderboard
This board ranks the highest-scoring games of Bolivia by final points. Bolivia is one of the most elaborate three-deck Canastas, building on Samba and pushing the game further in almost every direction - a game rated Hard where the aim is to first side to 15,000 points. The current top score here is 3,810 by Anonymous. Scores flow in from every variant we run, from Classic Canasta and quick two-handed duels to the marathon totals of Hand and Foot. If you are new, a quick read of the Canasta rules is the fastest way onto this table.
How ranking works
- Every finished game counts, and each result is checked for a plausible score, time and move count before it's listed.
- Scores are ranked from highest to lowest; ties break toward the faster finish, rewarding decisive play.
- Signed-in players keep a permanent name on the board and sync records across devices; guests can still post a display name.
- Switch between Today, This Week, This Month and All Time above to see recent form or lifetime bests.
What a good Bolivia score looks like
Totals swing a lot by variant and by the cards you draw, but here's a rough ladder to aim for:
| Still learning | Under ~500. You melded but didn't complete a canasta yet - every finished canasta is worth 300 to 500 on its own. |
|---|---|
| Casual hand | ~500 to 2,000. One or two canastas plus your red threes (100 each) - a tidy, respectable result. |
| Getting good | ~2,000 to 5,000. Several canastas, bonuses banked, and a clean go-out. In classic play, 5,000 is the whole game. |
| Score chaser | 5,000+. Natural canastas stacked with a concealed go-out (200 bonus) - top-of-the-board territory and the finish line in the long South American variants. |
The fastest way to climb this board isn't grabbing loose points - it's turning melds into full canastas before you go out, because those 300 and 500 point piles are where the big totals come from.

Leaderboard FAQ
How does the Canasta leaderboard work?
It ranks finished games by final score, highest first. Every result is checked for a plausible score, time and move count before it is listed, and ties break toward the faster finish.
What counts as a good Canasta score?
It depends on the variant. In classic play a single strong hand often lands in the low thousands once you count canastas, red threes and the go-out bonus, while the long South American variants play all the way to 10,000 or 15,000.
Do I need an account to appear on the leaderboard?
No. Guests can post a display name with any score. A free account keeps a permanent name and syncs your records across devices, so your best hands are never lost.
How can I compare scores fairly?
Play the Daily Canasta Deal, where everyone is dealt the identical hand, so the scores on that board are directly comparable rather than shaped by who drew the luckier cards.
