A seven card meld is called a book or a pile. Books are squared up, unlike a fanned meld still in the process of being added to. A meld is formed with 3 to 7 cards of equal rank.
The objective of Hand and Foot is to get rid of all your cards by forming them into melds as in any traditional rummy game. The deal passes left and the game consists of four deals total. Players then pick up their ‘hand.’ The play begins with the ‘hand’ dealer. ‘Foot’ stacks are to be placed around the stock and the discard pile. The remaining cards are put then in the center of the table and form the stockpile. The top card is also flipped over face-up beside it and starts the discard pile. If the card happens to be a 3 or a Joker (wild card) it is then buried within the stock and a new card is flipped over. The dealer proceeds to deal each player a stack of 13 cards and pass them clockwise until each player has a hand. Then the other partner does the same and deals each player the foot. These two stacks of cards must remain separate. They must shuffle the cards then one person takes the deck.
