Extreme Hand and Foot is a must-have for fans of Canasta-style card games. The 'Hand and Foot' variant is notoriously complex to track on paper, and this app does a fantastic job of automating the rules while keeping the strategic depth intact. Being dealt two separate hands—the 'Hand' and the 'Foot'—creates a compelling two-stage strategy where you must decide which cards to burn early and which to save for when you finally 'go to your foot.'
The 'Extreme' mode is where the app really earns its name, introducing a second 'foot' and much higher score targets that turn a standard game into an epic endurance match. The interface is clean and functional, with cards that are easy to see and move. The inclusion of local multiplayer and turn-based online play means you can enjoy a match with friends across the country or just challenge the AI during a commute.

Your goal is to play all cards in your first hand to 'pick up' your foot. Try to build melds of seven cards (books) as early as possible to meet the round's point requirements.
This score card was originally optimized for the specific version of Hand and Foot card game that I play with my wife and friends.

In Extreme mode, you have two feet to play through. This means the game lasts much longer—focus on long-term point building rather than trying to 'go out' quickly.
The 'Hand' is your initial 13 cards. Once you play all of them, you pick up your 'Foot'—a second set of cards—and continue playing.
