The objective of Hand and Foot is to get rid of all your cards by forming them into melds as in any traditional rummy game. The deal passes left and the game consists of four deals total. Players then pick up their ‘hand.’ The play begins with the ‘hand’ dealer. ‘Foot’ stacks are to be placed around the stock and the discard pile. The remaining cards are put then in the center of the table and form the stockpile. The top card is also flipped over face-up beside it and starts the discard pile. If the card happens to be a 3 or a Joker (wild card) it is then buried within the stock and a new card is flipped over. The dealer proceeds to deal each player a stack of 13 cards and pass them clockwise until each player has a hand. Then the other partner does the same and deals each player the foot. These two stacks of cards must remain separate. They must shuffle the cards then one person takes the deck.

NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 2-7 players NUMBER OF CARDS: Five 54-card decks (52 cards + 2 Jokers) RANK OF CARDS: A,K,Q,J,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2 TYPE OF GAME: Canasta/Rummy AUDIENCE: Adult Everyone tallies up their scores for that round, then the next round begins.OBJECTIVE OF HAND AND FOOT: Play the hand and foot while making the needed melds. Play continues clockwise around the table until one player runs out of cards first and ends the round. Once a player has played all of the cards in their hand, they pick up their foot and use those cards moving forward. A closed dirty meld, called a “black book,” is worth 300 points. A closed clean meld, called a “red book,” is worth 500 points. Players score points whenever they close a meld. Any meld on the table is open to all players until it reaches 7 cards, at which point it becomes a “closed pile” and can no longer be played off of. Then, they can play any melds in their hand on the table, or they can play off of another meld that’s already been played. At the beginning of a player’s turn, they draw 2 cards from the stock pile. Melds that contain only natural (non-wild) cards are called “clean” melds, and melds that contain a mix of natural and wild cards are called “dirty” melds. For example, in round 1, a player can’t play a meld on the table unless the cards in that meld add up to at least 50 points. In each round of the game, there’s a minimum point threshold that a meld must meet in order to be played on the table: 50 points in round 1, 90 points in round 2, 120 points in round 3, and 150 points in round 4. Threes through 7s are worth 5 points, 8s through kings are worth 10 points, aces and 2s are worth 20 points, and jokers are worth 50 points. When a player plays a meld, they also score points by adding up the point value for each card in the meld. Melds are any 3-7 cards of the same rank. Players are trying to get rid of all of the cards in their hand and foot first, and they do that by playing them in melds. The player to the left of the dealer goes first. Turn the top card on the stock pile face up-if it’s a red 3, 2, or joker, place it back into the pile and draw another card. Place the rest of the cards in the center of the playing area to create the stock pile. These cards are referred to as the “foot,” and players must keep them face down until they play all of the cards in their hand. Deal a second set of 11 cards to each player. These cards are referred to as the “hand,” and players should pick them up and look at them.
Shuffle all of the cards together and deal 11 cards to each player. To play Hand and Foot, you’ll need 5 standard card decks with the jokers included. Hand and Foot is a fun card game where players try to get rid of all of their cards first and score the most points over 4 rounds.
