Score points by collecting Resource cards!

When a player has put down at least 14 Resource cards (for a 2-player game) or 11 Resource cards (for a 3 to 4
player game), the player announces it to the other player or players and we finish the round.
There are several ways to score points (using Resource cards, Masquerade Ball cards or King's Court cards).
