Point Value and Ordering of Cards

Aces rank low in Gin Rummy, and the normal ordering of 10-jack-queen-king is followed (you can have a run of a jack, queen, and king of diamonds, for example, but not queen, king, ace).  The proper ordering, from least to greatest, is listed below:

Aces are worth one point, all face cards are worth 10 points, and all other cards are worth their face value.

 

Ace = 1 point

Face cards = 10 points each
