Run (cards)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

A run is a combination of playing cards where cards have consecutive rank values. Some games, such as cribbage, will specify that an Ace counts as one ("ace low"); others will specify that an Ace counts above a King ("ace high"); yet others, such as poker, allow an Ace to count high or low, but not both in the same run.
