The above tables show how many total cards there are for each value, and for each value and combination. For example, there are 6 '8' cards with a 1 star.
Of course, if you want to win, you need to add all the cards above it too.
  6   '8' cards with 1 star 
  3   '9' cards with 1 star 
  1   '10' cards with 1 star 
  0   '11' cards with 1 star 
+ 0   '12' cards with 1 star


 10 cards with 1 star of value 8 or greater


Constructing the table
Although this table is included with the cards, it is simple to reproduce.

First, note that it doesn't matter which shape you are looking at; they are all the same table.
Second, note the columns for 1, 2, or 3 shapes are all the same, just offset by 1 each.
1    
3 1  
6 3 1
Third, note the distribution mirrors itself. In other words there are as many cards with 1 cube on the high end as the low end.
1

6

Fourth, of course the total number of cards for a given value is the sum of the number with 1 star + 2 stars + 3 stars.
16 = 3 + 6 + 7

Fifth, remember the sequence 1 - 3 - 6 - 7.

Now, start at the top for 1 shape, and follow the sequence (remember to mirror it) 1,3,6,7,6,3,1
Then start 1 down for 2 shapes, 1,3,6,7,6,3,1
And start 2 down for 2 shapes, 1,3,6,7,6,3,1
Sum them up, and there you have it.
