Run

Please read the text below, or click on the Play button to watch the video.

A Run consists of Three or more cards of the same suit in numerical sequence. Only the Leader can use the Little Wolf as a Wild Card to fill in gaps of a numerical sequence to assist in creating a Run.

When the Leader plays a Run in a suit that is not designated as the Trump suit, all other players must first play a Run of the same rank and the same amount of cards if they hold one.

When any player plays a Run of the same rank as the Lead, it does not out-rank the Lead.

If a player does not hold a Run of the same rank and the same amount of cards, they must play a Run of the same amount of cards if they hold one. The highest ranked Run wins the Trick.

If a player does not hold a Run, they must follow suit and play the same amount of cards in the same suit as the Run. If they do not hold the same amount of cards in the same suit as the Run, they must first play any remaining cards of that suit they hold, together with any other cards they choose to total the same amount of cards as used in the Run. If a player does not hold a Run or hold any cards in the same suit as the Run, they may play any cards they choose to total the same amount of cards as used in the Run.

The equivalent amount of Trump cards outranks any Run of a non Trump suit.

When the Leader plays a Run in a Trump suit, all other players must play a Run of the same suit and the same amount of cards if they hold one. The highest ranked Run wins the Trick.

If a player does not hold a Run in the Trump suit, they must follow suit and play the same amount of Trump cards as used in the Run. If they do not hold the same amount of Trump cards as used in the Run, they must play any remaining Trump cards that they hold, together with any other cards they choose to total the same amount of cards as used in the Run.

The equivalent amount of Trump cards does not outrank a Run in a Trump suit.

If a player does not hold a Run in the Trump suit, and does not hold any Trump cards, they must first play a Run of the same rank and the same amount of cards as the Lead Run. Then play a Run of the same amount of cards if they hold one. If a player does not have a Run, they may play any cards they choose to total the same amount of cards as used in the Run.

A Run in a Trump suit outranks any Run in a non Trump suit.
