Run (cards)

A run, straight or sequence is a combination of playing cards where cards have consecutive rank values.

However, if they are, this is referred to as a suit sequence.

Runs are one of the two types of meld that may be used in games where melding is part of the play; the other being a set or group, such as a pair or triplet.

A natural sequence, as opposed to one that is wild, is one that consists purely of 'natural cards', without any wild cards such as jokers or deuces.
