If a card has been assigned all its required resources, it is completed and moved to the Constructed Cards Area. The player that produces the most of each resource receives a bonus token (ties will not earn a bonus).

When all costs are paid the card may be added into player's Empire tableau (tokens on card are discarded) and any bonus (if any shown bottom-middle of image above the bottom bar) is gained to player's Empire card. It doesn’t quite adhere to the “rack ’em” rule that I use (in which I yell “rack ’em” at my coworker when he beats me in something and we play again), but it’s probably as close as you’re going to get for a game with its playtime footprint, which is cool.
