Face Cards or Low Cards Worth More

It is generally not recommended, unless in variation games such as Swinging Door Nertz, to give face cards a higher value, because other than Aces face cards are not played often in the central playing area, and if face cards are in the Bone Pile their full value is subtracted from points won. If full value is not assigned for face cards in the Bone Pile, then giving face cards higher levels result in more interesting gaming strategies. Some play that Ace through 5 is worth more.
