After a player receives the two stacks of cards, they choose, without looking at the cards, which stack of cards they would like to play first. This is considered a player's hand, with the other stack of cards being called the foot. After a player gets rid of all the cards in their hand, they move on to their foot. A player can't go out until they get rid of their foot. However, a player's partner may go out if their partner is not in their foot. This is not usually a good idea since players do not know what cards their foot contains, and they could be stuck with a lot of negative points. Having two hands makes scoring at the end interesting, because if a player is not in their foot yet all of those cards count against that player and their partnership.
