Points are counted in this order:

Coins: 1 point for every 3 coins you have (leftover coins don't count).
Wonder: Each built stage grants the points shown on your wonder card.
Blue cards (civic buildings): Each card grants the points shown on it.
Yellow cards (commerce): Some yellow cards grant victory points.
Green cards (science): Score for matching symbols (tablets: n², gears: n², compasses: n²) and for sets of 3 different symbols (7 points per complete set).
Purple cards (guilds): Each card scores based on buildings built by you and/or your neighbors, as indicated on the card.
