Hand & Foot

Use one more deck than the number of players. Leave jokers in.

To shuffle, each player takes an equal number of cards. Shuffle three times, then pass half your cards to the left.  Repeat until everyone shuffles four times. Then randomly stack the cards together and start the hand.

Each player takes a stack of cards from the pile and deals two stacks. One has 11 cards, 1 has 13 cards.  Play the stack with 13 cards first. Set the stack with 11 cards aside. That is your 'foot'

Sort cards in numerical order. You will work with sets of 7 cards. There are no runs or flushes in this game.

As soon as you have played all the cards in your 'hand', you pick up your 'foot'.  If you have discarded, you wait until your next turn to start playing cards from your foot. If you used your last card in play, you are 'playing into your foot'

Jokers and two's are wild.

You need one clean set and two dirty sets to go out.

Red threes are 100 points each. If you are dealt one or draw one, immediately set it aside and replace it from the unplayed cards pile.

Black threes are worth 5 points against you but have no playing value. Discard them as you get them.

Each player draws two cards when it is their turn. You have to discard one unless you are going out.

Four hands are played. You need a minimum total points to lay down for each round
Round 1 - 60
Round 2 - 90
Round 3 - 120
Round 4 - 150

After four hands, the highest score wins.

Red threes - 100
Clean sets - 50
Dirty sets - 30
Going out - 100


Jokers - 50
Aces - 20
Twos - 20
