What is a "back run"?
A back run in card games, particularly in games like Pinochle, refers to a sequence of three or more consecutive cards in a suit, starting from a high card and working backward. For example, a back run might consist of the cards 10, 9, and 8 of hearts. In some card games, a back run can be valuable for scoring, as it represents a strong combination of cards that could help in taking tricks or fulfilling a specific bid. The exact role of a back run varies depending on the rules of the game being played.
Example
The player was excited to see a back run of hearts in their hand, which could lead to winning several tricks.
In the middle of the game, she noticed she had a back run in diamonds, which she hoped to use to her advantage.
