One of [[Grandma Sue]]’s classic cabin card games. Grandma’s rules are disputed and I’m not sure she played by the same rules with everyone, this is my recollection. You need a deck of cards for each person playing plus one extra deck. Shuffle all decks together and place them in one tall stack. ### Instructions / Rules - Winner is the first to 10k points - Each player starts each round by picking up a stack of cards (straight pick up no sliding the stack or counting in the pile) and tries to pick up exactly 22 cards. (100 bonus points if you get exactly 22). - Divide your 22 cards into your “hand” and your “foot”… 11 cards each. - The goal of each round is to lay down all the cards in your “hand” and your “foot”. Starting with your “hand” so you pick that stack up first. - You lay down cards by groups of cards that are the same number / face. - You have to have at least three cards of a number (or two and a wild) to lay down that number. - When you first lay down cards from your hand you have to have at least 95 points. - A “red” is 7 of the same card. - A “black” is 7 of the same card (with wild cards). - You cannot have more wild cards than face cards in a “black” or at any time lain down. - You start each turn by drawing two cards. Lay down any cards if applicable and end your turn with one discard. - Play down all the cards in your hand to pick up your foot. - Laying out your hand and picking up your foot ends your turn. - To “go out” with your foot you have to have both a “red” and a “black”. - A round ends when someone goes out (lays down all cards in their “foot” no discard while having both a “red” and “black”). - Repeat rounds until someone gets to 10k points. If two players get over 10k points on the same round then whoever has more points wins. ### Scoring - All cards still in your “hand” or “foot” after someone goes out are scored negative. - 300 per black - 500 per red - Joker — 50 - 2 — 20 - Ace — 20 - K-8 — 10 - 7-4 — 5 - Red 3 — negative 300 no positive value. - Black 3 — negative 100 no positive value.
