At the beginning of the [game](/welcome-to-metarcy/metarchy.md), each [player](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/players.md) has one token of each *material resource*.

The [player](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/players.md) receives *material resource* tokens after all [conflicts](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-rules/game-turn/phase-4-conflict.md) has been resolved and her-his [actor](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/actors.md)-[robot](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/actors/robot.md) remained in the [factory](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/playing-field/factory.md), [energy station](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/playing-field/energy-station.md), or [dump](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/playing-field/dump.md).

*Material resources* can be used during an [event card](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/event-cards.md) play

*Material resources* can be used as **betting on the outcome of the conflict**.

[Players](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/players.md) can exchange *material resources* among themselves in the last phase of each [turn](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-rules/game-turn.md).
