Getting Started

To begin playing Hand and Foot, you’ll need a standard deck of 52 cards for each player. The game is typically played with four players in teams of two, but it can also be played with 2–6 individual players. The goal of the game is to create books of cards – sets of seven cards of the same rank – and ultimately get rid of all the cards in your hand and foot (two separate piles of cards).

Players are dealt two hands – a hand of cards that they hold and a foot of cards that are placed face down in front of them. The game is played in rounds, with each round consisting of four phases: drawing cards, playing cards, picking up the discard pile, and ending the round by discarding a card. The game continues until one player or team empties their hand and foot piles.

To excel at Hand and Foot, it’s essential to communicate effectively with your partner and work together to create books of cards.
