We hope you and yours experience the joy our family has when we play together, and want you to make the game your own. Our goal is to create the best online version of Hand & Foot available. We finished the initial prototype just in time for Thanksgiving 2020 and have been iterating and improving it ever since. It had to accomplish two things: give my family a way to play even when separated geographically AND let us play the way WE wanted to play.Īfter writing down some notes on what the game should be I started actually developing a prototype of the game in August 2020 and then hired a visual designer to help with the graphics and user interface/experience in October 2020. Thus, the idea for Hand & Foot Friends & Family Edition™ was born. I looked at the canasta and Hand & Foot games available online and never found anything that let our family play with the rules we wanted to use. The summer of 2020 was the first year we could not gather together for our reunion and play Hand & Foot, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
