Card suits & epochs in ORIDIGI EPOCHS neo cards
There are ten epochs and four suits in ORIDIGI EPOCHS neo cards. Epochs from I to X are indicated with Roman numerals. Card suits are Yin Yan (heroes) ¬ Skull (weapon) ¬ Hand (scenes) ¬ Maze (objects).
Card strength increases from Epoch I to X. The strength of suits works within epochs.
Card decks contain clue cards with a scale of card strength and QR codes for all players to open the scale on smartphones.
Cards are arranged on the scale in descending order of strength, from left to right, like words in a book. . Each subsequent card is weaker than the previous one, from the strongest Jokers to the weakest Mazes of epoch I.
Jokers are the strongest cards. Next are highest cards of suit - with only one suit symbol. Then come all the cards in the epochs - from the strongest era X to the weakest I.
Each epoch has the highest card of epoch - without a suit. Highest card of epoch is the strongest in it's epoch, but weaker than the Maze cards in the newer epoch. The rest of the cards contain two marks one under the other - epoch and suit.

Yin Yang is the strongest suit. Yin-Yang symbol has two halves, so there are 2 cards of heroes with equal strength in each epoch.
Skull is the second most powerful suit. Skull has three holes, so there are 3 cards of weapons with equal strength in each epoch.
