Overview:

Hand and Foot Canasta is a popular card game for four players played in two partnerships. The objective of the game is to be the first partnership to reach 5,000 points by melding cards into specific combinations called "canastas" and by capturing cards from the discard pile.

Gameplay:

The game begins with each player receiving 11 cards, known as their "hand." The remaining cards form a draw pile. The top card of the draw pile is turned over to start the discard pile.

On their turn, a player can either draw the top card from the draw pile or take the top card from the discard pile. If they take a card from the discard pile, they must also take the entire discard pile.

Once a player has at least three cards of the same rank, they can meld them into a "meld." Melds can be either three or four cards of the same rank, known as a "natural meld," or seven or more cards of the same rank, known as a "canasta."
