  You can play an Ace only in front of a 2.

• Either low: A23 , or high: QKA

  You can play an Ace in front of a 2, or after a King (13), but not in between a King (13) and a 2.

• Both low and high: KA2

  This option also allows A23 and QKA .

Games with this rule

Most built-in games in Rummi use the aces are low rule. Exceptions are Carousel (aces are either low or high); and Rozzy and Windmill (aces are both low and high).

 

In most Rummy type games, including Rummikub®, aces are always low. In some games however, like Carousel, aces are either low or high.
