📖 How Hand and Foot is Played

Hand and Foot is played with multiple decks of cards, using one more deck than the number of players. Each player receives two sets of cards: the Hand, played first, and the Foot, which is picked up once the Hand is finished.
To go out, players must finish their Hand, play the Foot, and complete one clean and one dirty Canasta.

Players draw two cards per turn. Only melds (sets of the same rank) may be laid down; runs are not allowed. To pick up the discard pile, players must hold two cards of the same rank as the top discard, and only the top 7 cards are taken. The discard pile is blocked by wild cards, threes, or cards from a rank with a closed Canasta.

🎯 Minimum Meld Requirements

Before laying cards down or picking up the discard pile, players must meet the minimum points for the round: 50 points in Round 1, 90 in Round 2, 120 in Round 3, and 150 in Round 4, based on melds and completed Canastas. A Canasta is a meld of at least 7 cards.

🃏 Wild Cards & Meld Rules

Wild cards include Deuces (2s) and Jokers. A dirty meld may contain up to 3 wild cards, and every meld must have more natural cards than wild cards. An optional rule allows play without Joker melds.

⭐ Scoring & Card Values

Card Values
4–7: 5 points. 8–K: 10 points. Aces: 20 points
Deuces (2s): 20 points (Wild). Jokers: 50 points (Wild)
Black 3s: –5 points. Red 3s: –100 points (not meldable)

Canasta Bonuses

Hand and Foot is a game of planning, timing, and smart teamwork. Knowing when to meld, when to pick up or block the discard pile, and when to hold cards back can completely change the outcome of a round—this depth is what makes Hand and Foot so engaging for Canasta lovers.
