Question on unused cards. Example: Deal number 11 you have to have 2-4 card books or runs and 1- 3 card book or run to go out. With this example your opponent has left in their hand 3- 3 card book and runs but can't complete a 4 card run or book. Does the opponent have to only count the two remaining cards or all 8 remaining cards cause they can't complete any 4 card books or runs?
