📖 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.
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.

NEW REVIEW This is a fun version of Hand and Foot. The devolpers haver GREATLY improved the game since my first review. Melds are sortable now. Randomness of card feels better. Now they have added BOTs for dropped out players. It is nice to see devolpers continue to improve their product! The ads are not too bad.

Beyond frustrating. No tutorial at all. Can't figure out to do several things and no help menu. Can never pick up the discard pile for some reason or have more than one wild in a book while my opponents can do both. Games feel rigged. My last game I drew nothing but wilds and the cards I just discarded. Twice I could not get into my foot before the other player went out because I had nothing but wilds. And the previous game my opponent somehow didn't discard several times. Game is terrible.

Rigged.... So object is to get you to buy more credits. It's rigged against you, you'll win a few games, but you'll lose many more. Then you'll win if you play with real people. Then you'll win more, but the cards are stacked. You can't pull fifteen cards, and everyone can be played.
