On the other hand, after landing upon a tile a player gets a resource card; mentioning a name of a resource but not on the tile with the desert doesn’t provide any resources in the game. These resource cards place a prominent role in the game because through this card a player collects resources such as bricks, woods, lumber, iron ore, grains for construction. After collecting the resources and completing the building, a settler gets to earn some points. Secondly, since resource cards are very imperative, the same can be traded off with other players or banks and can also be spent to buy development cards. Similar to resource cards, development cards allow a player with the privilege of having worth one victory point, a knight card that allows the player to move out the robber from a particular hex who is prohibiting for acquiring any resource.
