+This paint your own set of MOPEW cards is not based on traditional
+artwork styles, but on a mix of the MOPEW deck and Earth convenctions.
+
+The values on the cards are written in common duodecimal_ digits, using
+↊ and ↋ for ten and eleven respectively, and the orders of magnitude are
+treated as a sort of suite, with artwork based on different shapes.
+
+.. _duodecimal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duodecimal
+
+To get a MOPEW set, print two of each triangle, square and hexagon card
+from 0 to 11, and paint them in a warm colours scheme for the Earth deck
+and a cool one for the Heavens deck.
+
+The additional S card can be used to get 13 cards per suite and use the
+deck for common cards games.
+
+The extra “circle” suite was designed as the back of cards, but numbered
+ones are available because it was low effort making them, and could be
+used as an alternative to the triangle ones.
+
+When painting the cards by hand it is recommended to avoid painting the
+backs, as it would be hard to make them identical to each other.
