So, for a game with four people you'll need five standard decks with two Jokers per pack, totaling 270 cards. You will need one deck more than the number of players.Teammates share a melding space on the table. Four players form two teams with partners sitting opposite each other.Points are distributed on a per-team-basis, so players must work together to build valuable melds and try to block their opponents from picking up cards they need.
Players start with a 13-card hand along with a face-down 13-card 'foot' that is only used once the hand is emptied.The goal of Hand and Foot is to empty your hand by forming table melds and to end up as the highest scoring team after four rounds.
