Wild card books (books made from 2s and Jokers) are worth 1500 points ScoringĪfter a player goes out, the round has ended, and scores are tallied as follows: They must also have played all of their cards in both their Hand and their Foot. Teams must have made a red book and a black book before they are allowed to “go out”. When books are made, the pile is tacked faced down and a card with the same color of the book is placed face up on top of the stack. If any of the cards are wild, it is called a black book. If none of those cards are wild, it is called a red book. In Hand and Foot, a pile of 7 cards is called a book. Once the play all of the cards in their Hand pile, players move to their foot pile. Players must start with their Hand pile while their Foot pile is laid face down. At the end of your turn, you must discard one card. If you take from the discard pile, you must take all of the cards in the discard pile. To take a card from the discard pile, the top card must either begin a meld or build upon one already made. At the beginning of their turn they must take a card from either the stock or the discard pile. The gameplay moves clockwise and begins with the player clockwise to the dealer. (In Hand and Foot, there are two stacks that players must meld to win) Melds must have, however, more natural cards than wildcards in them. The Jokers and 2s in the deck are wildcards and can be used to build upon any meld. Melds are shared within the teams so, teammates can build upon their own melds. Melds are formed by matching cards of the same rank. Teammates sit across from each other and work together to form the more melds than the other team. The dealer position rotates clockwise at the end of each round. The top card of the stock is turned upright and placed to the side to form the discard pile. The remaining cards are placed faced down to form the stock.
The first set of 11 is called the Hand and the last set of 11 is called the Foot. The dealer then passes two sets of 11 cards one by one clockwise to each of the 4 players. The initial dealer shuffles the deck and the player to their right cuts it. To do so, every player is given a card from a shuffled deck and whoever receives the highest card becomes the first dealer.
