 Aces are considered low—they can form a set with other aces but only the low end of runs ( is a legal run but is not).A player can form any combination of melds within their hand; all sets, all runs, or some sets and some runs.The "deadwood count" is the sum of the point values of the deadwood cards—aces are scored at 1 point, face cards at 10, and others according to their numerical values.
