The two cards from your hand, and the card from the top of the Pick Up pile must be immediately melded.When you pick up the top card you must take the next five cards in the pile, for a total of 6 cards (there is a game configuration setting where you get the top card and the next six cards, for a total of 7).See the section “The Initial Meld” for more details. And now, for the most complicated, you (or your team, if you’re playing with a partner) needs to have melded enough points to meet your meld threshold OR you need to be able to meld enough points in the process of picking up the card (you can use the point value of the top card you are picking up towards your meld threshold, but only the top card).You cannot already have a canasta in the rank you are trying to pick up (for example, if you already have a completed canasta of 4s then you cannot pick up a 4, even if you have two 4s in your hand).You must have two natural cards in your hand of the same rank as the top card (for example, if your opponent discards a King, then you have to have two Kings in your hand, it doesn’t matter which suit, as long as you have Kings).You cannot pick up a black 3 or a red 3.But in order to be able to pick up the card at the top of the Pick Up pile there are a few things that you need to know: You can NEVER draw two cards AND pick up the pile.ĭrawing two cards from the Draw pile is self-explanatory. To start your turn you can either draw two cards from the Draw pile, or pick up the card at the top of the Pick Up pile. Let’s talk about each of these… Drawing two cards or picking up the pile Playing Your TurnĪ player’s turn consists of up to three parts: Two other types of canastas, Sambas (canastas containing sequential runs of the same suit) and Bolivias (canastas of only wild cards), are not yet supported by Hand & Foot Friends & Family Edition.
Red canastas are worth 500 points while black canastas are worth 300 points.
The first is that they can be used as a discard and if the other player/team goes out and you have a Red 3 in your hand or foot, then you lose 500 points (ouch!). Red 3s: there are two game configuration settings for Red 3s.If you get caught with a Black 3 in your hand you lose 5 points. Black 3s: can only be used to discard.HFFE allows you to choose how many cards you want dealt when you are setting up a new game. 4-player and 6-player games: 11 cards each in the hand and foot.3-player games: 13 cards each in the hand and foot.2-player games: 15 cards each in the hand and foot.The number of players typically determines how many cards are dealt in the hand and foot for each player: Hand & Foot is played with three to five decks of cards, including Jokers, depending on the number of players and number of required canastas. NOTE: 3- and 6-player games coming soon! Cards Four-player games have two teams of two players each, while six-player games have three teams of two players each. With HFFE, you can play a two-player, three-player, four-player or six-player game. … while scoring more points than your opponent(s).… by melding your cards and forming canastas (a set of 7 cards all of the same rank, such as all 4s or all Jacks).To get rid of all the cards in your hand so you can then play the cards in your foot….Hand & Foot Friends & Family Edition, or HFFE for short, is an online version of the game that allows you to configure the game rules according to the way your family and friends want to play. Players are dealt two sets of cards: one is their hand, and the second is their foot, which is placed face down at first and can only be played after all the cards in the hand have been played. The game is played in four rounds, with each round named based on how many points you have to initially meld, or play on the board, as a team in order to pick up the card pile: round of 50, round of 90, round of 120, and round of 150.
