![]() Sound confusing? There really is a lot of information and rules, but it's very easy to catch on to how the game is played. Each game has 4 rounds, kind of like mini-games. The team with the highest points wins the game. ![]() Just because you are able to finish a round, does not mean you will be the winner of the game. The only question you are allowed to ask is at the end, you may question whether they are ready for you to go out (Win the round.) Since every single card has a point value, you want your team mate to be as close to finishing their Hand and Foot as possible. You are not allowed to talk about what cards you have with your team mate. If you are playing as a team, you collect the two clean and dirty books together, and only one of you needs to make it through your Hand and Foot. (At least not until your Hand is gone.) The point of the game, in each round you will try to get two clean books, two dirty books, and get rid of all the cards from your Hand and Foot. You will set the Foot aside, and you cannot at any point look at the cards in it. Once you are given your two piles, you can choose without looking which one you will use as your Hand. Instead of keeping the Hand and Foot piles that you dealt, you are going to hand one of the piles to the person on your left, and the other goes to the person on your right. We give 100 bonus points to any individual that can pick up exactly 24 cards, no more, no less. You have two piles of 12 you will be dealing, the Hand and the Foot piles. There is no official dealer in the game, everyone will participate. Once the cards have been shuffled, you make piles of cards leaving room in the middle for discards. It seems to shuffle faster and more efficiently this way. We like to do a table wide smearing of the cards. You want to shuffle all your decks together. A deck of cards is usually the first souvenir we will hunt for when we're on vacation to a new place. We have a huge card collection (at least 30 or 40 decks), so it isn't a question of how many we can come up with. I think it's more fun when you have more cards, so we typically do two decks per person. This can be two decks per person, or 1 per person +1. Keep your Jokers you need them for this game. I'm going to share with you the house rules we play by. Playing as teams seems to speed up the game a bit, but you've still got a long game ahead of you. It can be played as teams of two, or every man for himself. But be careful! It's addicting! This is a game where everybody seems to have different house rules, but the idea behind the game is the same. The game consists of 4 rounds, but you can play as few or as many as you have time for. Each round can take a long time, and we don't normally have 4 or 5 hours to kill. You don't want to start the game unless you have plenty of time to enjoy it. It was a game I had heard about years ago, but just recently played for the first time. We LOVE card games in this family! For the past couple of months we have become addicted to playing the card game Hand and Foot.
