Setup

A starting map for the partnership version

Identify the version before arranging the table.

Reference used here

Pagat’s Bill Whitnack partnership account uses four players, five decks with jokers and thirteen-card Hand and Foot stacks. Partners sit opposite.

Make the two stacks distinct

During teaching, label each player’s initial Hand and face-down Foot. Keep space for stock, discards and partnership melds. Clear physical areas help a learner describe which cards they mean without pointing across another player’s hand.

Read the full procedure

Use the complete reference for dealing, drawing, discard pickup and the conditions for going out. This note is an orientation, not enough instructions to run a session by itself. If friends use another version, write its name and full source on your table note.
