It's a card game, I'm told like canasta, not that I know anything about canasta.
Basically, you are dealt two equally-sized piles of cards; one is your hand, one is your foot. Goal is one of the standard ones: get rid of all your cards via certain protocols. You cannot pick up your foot cards until you have gotten rid of all of your hand cards. We generally play with partners, which makes it somewhat easier.
It is, when explained out, a surface-complicated game, but isn't actually all that complicated; it's sort of a default game when there are four slightly braindead people kicking around.
