<Li> Set: A set is made of two or more cards with the same number and any color . </Li> <Li> Run: A run (similar to a straight) is made of two or more cards numbered in order, in any color . (though in older versions all numbers must be of the same color .) Runs can go from one to twelve . (Do not mix the two separate decks) </Li> <Li> Color: Phase 8 of the original and Master's Edition, and several phases of Phase 10 Twist, require the player to collect cards that are all the same color (or suit, if using ordinary playing cards). This is the ONLY time the colors of the cards are relevant in the game; runs do not have to be all one color (as in many standard - deck Rummy variants). Wilds, despite having a printed color in certain editions, can be used to represent any color, and Skips, despite being blue in certain editions, cannot be used to complete this (or any) Phase . </Li> <Li> Even or Odd: An even or odd is made of two or more cards that are either even (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12), or odd (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11). </Li>

Phase 10 does a run have to be the same color
