This is great for you because any cards left from their hand and foot are negative points for them. You could get through your hand and foot pretty quickly and go out leaving the other team with them not having been able to play from their foot. Your turn does not end till you discard or play the last card you have from your foot.ĭoing it this way will allow you to 'set' the other team. If you discard the last card in your hand you cannot play from your foot until your next turn, if you play your last hand card on your or your partners’ boards you may start playing from your foot right away. Once you play your whole hand you can then pick up your foot. After your down you have to wait till your next turn to play on your partners’ board.ĭuring game play you are working towards getting all your cards down on either your board or your partners. Remember they can't lay down the same numbers as you. It makes it harder for them and takes longer to save up enough points. Strategy Hint: You don't want to lay too many different things down before your partner does especially if they haven't gotten down yet. This can be accomplished simply - like with 3 Aces - or it could be something like 4 nines, 4 sixes and 4 twos, or any combination of point cards that equal 60.

In the first round you must have at least 60 points to lay down on your board. After you discard the play then moves on to the person to your left. In that case you may play your last card onto yours or your partners’ board. You must always have a discard unless you are 'going out' - winning a round. Then they must decide what to keep and what to discard. The first player picks up 2 cards from the middle of the deck and puts them in their hand. if partner A has Queens laid down partner B cannot lay Queens down on their own board, any Queens partner B has, has to go to partner A. Partners may NOT have the same card numbers on their board as their partner has on theirs i.e. Partners may play on each other’s boards to complete sets. Once a set has been made and closed with a card on the top you can only put cards that match the set in that pile. max number of wilds to make a set would be 3 with 4 same numbered cards. You must have more 'naturals' than wilds in your set though i.e. To make a Black Set, you must have at least 7 of the same number using the wild 2's and/or the joker cards. In order for you to lay out in the first round you have to have at least 60 points worth of cards i.e. Each round gets more difficult as you progress. (clockwise)įirst let’s go over the objective and points then we will get into the game play.īe the team with the most points after 6 rounds of play.Ī round begins with the dealing of the cards and ends when one person plays all his cards (hand and foot). Once you pick that initial person to go first the next 'first person' will be to their left. This helps you keep track of who went first and who goes first next round. Pick one person to be first and put thier first initial next to your circled 1 and number 60. The one you choose will be your hand and you will start with that stack. Without looking at the cards in each stack pick one and set the other one off to your left. Of the 2 stacks you receive, one stack is going to be for your hand and one for your foot. Then take the 2 stacks of 11 and give them to the person on your left.
