You may end the play at the beginning by placing all your cards face-up on the table.Play begins with the player to the left of the dealer and moves clockwise. After play has begun, it is of no use to try and get 49 or 50 points, this only applies before gameplay. To win, you must get rid of all your cards or have the lowest sum of unmatched cards at the end of the game. THE PLAYīy drawing and discarding, players try to form their cards into spreads. A spread can be made of books and runs. Players will also try to discard their cards into existing spreads. Neither are paid, all cards are collected, shuffled, and a new hand is dealt.
If there is more than one player with a hand totaling 49 or 50 points it is a draw. The hand is not played and the player with the tonk receives twice the stake from each player. If a player’s hand initially sums to 49 or 50 points they must declare it and show their cards, this is a tonk. The top card on the deck after each player has five cards is flipped to create the discard pile. The dealer passes each player five cards, one at a time, starting to their left. The deal passes to the left so new players must sit to the dealers right. To determine a dealer, each player receives one card, player with the highest card acts as dealer. Sometimes winners can win double the stake, this is called a tonk. Before beginning, players agree upon the foundational stake- this is the amount paid to the winner by each player. It is supposed to be a descendant of a Filipino card game “Tong-Its.” It was a popular card game among jazz players in the 1930s and 40s. Tonk, or Tunk as it is sometimes referred, is a knock rummy and conquian game from the United States. Everyone tallies up their scores for that round, then the next round begins.OBJECTIVE OF TONK: Play all cards in hand or have the lowest value non-pair in hand at the end of the game in order to win the stake. Play continues clockwise around the table until one player runs out of cards first and ends the round. Once a player has played all of the cards in their hand, they pick up their foot and use those cards moving forward. A closed dirty meld, called a “black book,” is worth 300 points. A closed clean meld, called a “red book,” is worth 500 points. Players score points whenever they close a meld. Any meld on the table is open to all players until it reaches 7 cards, at which point it becomes a “closed pile” and can no longer be played off of. Then, they can play any melds in their hand on the table, or they can play off of another meld that’s already been played. At the beginning of a player’s turn, they draw 2 cards from the stock pile. Melds that contain only natural (non-wild) cards are called “clean” melds, and melds that contain a mix of natural and wild cards are called “dirty” melds. For example, in round 1, a player can’t play a meld on the table unless the cards in that meld add up to at least 50 points. In each round of the game, there’s a minimum point threshold that a meld must meet in order to be played on the table: 50 points in round 1, 90 points in round 2, 120 points in round 3, and 150 points in round 4. Threes through 7s are worth 5 points, 8s through kings are worth 10 points, aces and 2s are worth 20 points, and jokers are worth 50 points. When a player plays a meld, they also score points by adding up the point value for each card in the meld. Melds are any 3-7 cards of the same rank. Players are trying to get rid of all of the cards in their hand and foot first, and they do that by playing them in melds.
The player to the left of the dealer goes first. Turn the top card on the stock pile face up-if it’s a red 3, 2, or joker, place it back into the pile and draw another card. Place the rest of the cards in the center of the playing area to create the stock pile. These cards are referred to as the “foot,” and players must keep them face down until they play all of the cards in their hand. Deal a second set of 11 cards to each player. These cards are referred to as the “hand,” and players should pick them up and look at them. Shuffle all of the cards together and deal 11 cards to each player. To play Hand and Foot, you’ll need 5 standard card decks with the jokers included. Hand and Foot is a fun card game where players try to get rid of all of their cards first and score the most points over 4 rounds.
