*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).
