Running hand and foot for 9
For 9 players you will need 2 tables, 10 decks with jokers (5 for each table of 4), and 3 sheets of paper for the score cards (four to a page). With 8 or 10 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.
Sit-outs can't come out exactly even over 4 rounds: 5 people never sit out and the rest sit out once. Play 9 rounds if you want everyone to sit out the same number of times.
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.
