Cards are the way in which players of Godus advance their Followers through the Ages. There are numerous ways in which cards can be gained these being, exploring the land and opening Chests, playing the Mount of the Gods, through the Temple of Multiplayer as well as automatically receiving them by reaching certain periods of the game or Milestones.
Currently there are four main types of cards these being Technology Cards (which come in various types), God Cards (again which come as several types) and Resource Cards.
It is known that when the v1.4 patch is released Recourse Cards will be replaced entirely by Stickers which aims to rectify the known problem with these cards which is you cannot assign them to certain Technology Cards meaning the game could have you working on several at once when you may only want to focus on unlocking one specific card.
