What are resources and how do you get them?
Resources let you build structures and camp buildings that give you crucial items like potions and new cards to play. You can get resources by defeating enemies, using and transforming your cards, and finishing loops. You can also get scrap resources throughout the game and these scrap resources can be combined to create more resources.
