When a player has gotten rid of all of their cards, he declare "Game" and wins the hand. This is the same as "Going Out" or "Knocking" in other Rummy variants. All other players start to total up the points of their deadwoods, which may include any wildcards. They cannot play on even though they still have melds or lay-offs that they can play in hand.

Richeson was originally an extra on Deadwood, before the show's producer, David Milch, noticed him and gave him one line, which became Richeson's first onscreen credit. This led to Richeson's recurring role as the disheveled, eccentric cook in 20 of Deadwoods 36 episodes. The character was fascinated with deer antlers, which he possessed in most of his scenes on the show. Deadwood aired on HBO for three seasons, from 2004 to 2006.

From its debut, Deadwood drew attention for its extensive profanity. The historical accuracy and dramatic intent of its use of obscenities has been the subject of controversy and discussion. The issue of the authenticity of Deadwoods dialogue has even been alluded to in the show itself. Early in the second season, E.B. Farnum has fleeced Francis Wolcott of $9,900, and Farnum tries to console the geologist: The word "fuck" is said 43 times in the first hour of the show.

When a player can neither meld nor lay-off when it comes to his turn, he has to Declare "Dead". The game still goes on for the rest of the players, but he participates no further in the rest of that game. The effect is that the player can no longer reduce deadwoods in his hand, and therefore stuck with all the points in the dead hand. Even subsequently when there are new melds that the player could have been able to lay off more cards, he cannot do so because he is out of the game.

The Court held that a person should not receive compensation for injuries sustained when he is experienced in his work and there is no evidence of negligence or extenuating circumstances. Kohn had argued that the Company was negligent in exposing Kohn to cars that were different from the ones he was used to handling. The Court disagreed, reasoning that he was a mature and experienced man who should have been able to cope with the existing conditions. The train cars were not in defective in any way, they had the double deadwoods or bumpers of unusual length and were constructed differently, but this should have been obvious even at a passing glance.
