Running hand and foot for 11

For 11 players you will need 2 tables, 12 decks with jokers (5 for the table of 4, 7 for the table of 6), and 3 sheets of paper for the score cards (four to a page). With 10 or 12 players nobody would sit out.

A hand and foot game runs four hands, so many groups switch partners after each game, or after each hand at a quicker party. Partners sit across at a table of 4. At a table of 6, three teams of two sit alternately around the table.

With 11 players the chart uses a table of 6, so only 1 person sits out each round. If you would rather keep every table at 4, the planner can do that with 3 people sitting out each round.

Sit-outs can't come out exactly even over 4 rounds: 7 people never sit out and the rest sit out once.

Each score card lists that player's table, partner and opponents for every round. Want names on them, a different number of rounds or a fresh shuffle? Open this chart in the planner.
