# What are Consecutive Pairs in Grand?
Consecutive Pairs, also known as Consecutive Pairs, is a hand type in the popular Chinese card game Grand. It consists of 2 or 3 pairs in a row, where each pair must be of the same rank. The maximum number of pairs in a Consecutive Pair hand is 3, totaling 6 cards. For example, a hand with 7-7-8-8 would be a 2-pair Consecutive Pair, while 7-7-8-8-9-9 would be a 3-pair Consecutive Pair. Only hands of the same length can compete, with higher rank pairs winning.
In gameplay, players aim to form a Consecutive Pair hand when they have the opportunity. For instance, if a player has the cards 7♠-7♥-8♠-8♥-9♠-9♥, they could play this as a 3-pair Consecutive Pair. The hand's strength is determined by the rank of the highest pair, with the highest rank pair winning in the event of a tie.
