Un-dealt cards are placed in a Draw Pile in the center of the table. Then, they pass one set to their left and the resulting two sets become their Hand and Foot. In each round, a player is deals themselves two sets of cards: 13 cards per set for 2-4 players, and 11 per set for 5-8 players. All card decks are shuffled into a single Draw Pile. You will need one full deck of cards, including jokers, per player (add an additional deck if there are 3 or less players). Hand and Foot can be played with 2-8 players (the game can be played in pairs, but I’ll just focus on the single player rules). A player is dealt two sets of cards: one ‘Hand’ and one ‘Foot.’ The object of the game is to build melds of cards to form ‘Books,’ score as many points as possible, and play all of the cards in your Hand and Foot sets as quickly as possible. Hand and Foot is similar to Canasta but with a few differences in rules and game play. I have loved to play the card game Hand and Foot ever since a family member taught it to me 15 years apilorm ago.
