Any cards not dealt go in the draw pile in the center of the table.You may not look at your foot until all the cards in your hand are gone. This stack comes into play later in the game and is called your foot. The other stack should be set aside facedown where all players can see it.Each player chooses one stack to play first.Each player keeps one stack and then passes the other stack to the player on their left.Each player deals two stacks of 11 cards each from their deck.We trade off 1/2 our shuffling deck to ensure a good mix. Players sit around the table in teams of two, with team players sitting opposite one another.Otherwise, it seems like the game never ends! A hand and foot match consists of four rounds, and each round is scored (see how to score further below). If eight people want to play, we divide into two different groups. We never play with more than six players. This helps when storing the game, so we don't have to count out the first four decks each time we play. We use four red decks for four players and add blue decks for additional players. You'll need an even number of players and a full deck of cards for each player (including the jokers).
