![]() A book is a set of seven cards of equal rank placed face up on the table. The aim is to get rid of cards from your hand, and then from your foot, by creating books with them. You must discard one card when it is your turn, ad that ends your play. A turn usually consists of taking the top two cards from the stock once you have met the minimum opening requirement, optionally booking some cards (or adding to your partnership's books if you are in teams) and discarding one card on top of the discard pile. One card must then be discarded, face up. Choose which stack is your hand, and which one is your foot.Įach player picks up their hand stack, and the first player draws two cards and adds them to their hand. You should now have two new stacks of 11 cards. Pass one pile to the person to your left, and one pile to your right. Each player plucks 22 cards from the pile - a player that pulls 22 on the first try gets a 100 point bonus - and divides them into 2 piles of 11. Shuffle all the cards really well, and stack into a single stock pile. The more books needed, the longer the game will be. Set the rules on what is required to "go out" on a game - for example, 1 clean book, 1 dirty book and 1 wild book are needed. Four or six can play as partners with two three or five, everyone must play for themselves. Each player is dealt two sets of cards - the hand, which is played first, and the foot, which is played when the hand has been used up.Īny number of people from two to six can play, using one more deck of cards than the number of players (including the jokers). The player to get rid of their first cards is the winner of that round, with the game consisting of 4 rounds. The goal of Hand And Foot is to win the most points by creating "books" of cards.
