Monument is a [[terminal silver]] that also provides [[alt-VP]] in the form of {{VP}} tokens. The value of {{VP|1}} per [[terminal]] play of a [[stop card]] heavily depends on the [[Kingdom]], so fairly often other cards will provide a better benefit for the price and [[terminal space]].

 +
Monument is most important when the amount of {{VP}} it provides is large relative to the other [[greening|scoring]] options. There are two main cases for this:
 +
* If additional gains are hard to come by (e.g., Kingdoms that allow you to gain a maximum of a single {{Card|Province}} per turn), an additional {{VP|1}} every few turns can be relevant.
 +
* If the Kingdom has a way to reliably play multiple Monuments per turn (e.g., via an [[engine]] with {{Card|King's Court}} or {{Card|Captain}}, or a [[draw-to-X]] deck using {{Card|Cursed Village}}), you may be able to score at a similar pace to another strategy that gains multiple [[Victory]] cards per turn, without the typical deck deterioration associated with greening.
 +
Monument may also be useful as a form of early [[payload]], if you have no better use for the terminal space and need the {{Cost|2}} to help you afford expensive [[deck control]] components (i.e., its [[opportunity cost]] is only a {{Card|Silver}}). Monument is unlikely to be important when the Kingdom offers a way to take many {{VP}} very quickly; in the extreme case, it's usually not relevant when a [[megaturn]] is possible, especially since this typically involves a stronger terminal payload card, e.g. {{Card|Bridge}}.
 +
 
 +
Since Monument provides slowly accumulating {{VP}}, it benefits from the ability to play it early and often. Assuming it’s a good way to score, this means it can be best to acquire a copy at least by the early midgame and effectively use it as a {{Card|Silver}}, while aiming to establish strong enough [[deck control]] to play it consistently. The problem with gaining Monuments later in the game is that you will be able to play those copies fewer times than if you had gained them earlier, and the total amount of {{VP}} you are able to get by adding additional copies late in the game is often limited (on top of the usual payload ramping concerns of increasing your terminal space and draw requirements). For the same reason, Monument also provides more benefit in longer games, including [[slog]]s.
  
Despite having one of the most awesome card images, Monument is one of the most boring cards.  It’s not bad: the VP token power is decent, and can really add up. Certainly if there are no better terminal Actions, then opening Monument/Silver is definitionally better than Silver/Silver.

But the problem is that it competes with so much other stuff.  If there aren’t any +Actions, then it has a pretty bad claim to be one of your terminal Actions.  Even if there are, so many other $4 cards offer more interesting (and more stackable) powers.  Militias and Cutpurses provide nearly the same benefit while crippling your opponents; Salvager/Remodel/Bishop/Island trim your deck; Baron/Bridge/Mining Village can catapult you to $5 and $6 before your opponents.  (Monument is generally better than Scout and Navigator … but then again, what isn’t?)

Its lone unique perk is that it’s the only +{{VP}} card (thus far) that really works well with Throne Room / King’s Court. A Throned or Kinged Bishop usually just runs out of stuff to trash, whereas Throned and Kinged Goons are a bit of waste, since it only adds to the +Buy and not the +{{VP}}.

Naturally, Monument is nicer the earlier you buy it.  It’s probably worth buying in the early game if there aren’t any other good options.  Mid-game, it’s a good pickup if you’re feeling like you have Actions to burn and want to get some tiebreaker points.  Late-game, it might be too late and you might be better off buying Estates/Gardens with your $4.  (Unless, of course, you have a Royal Seal / Watchtower and can play it on the next turn, preferably Kinged or Throned.)  And it works best in thin decks, where you can play it as often as possible.
 
=== Synergies/Combos ===
 
*Bishop/Goons, if you’re going for a VP tokens strategy
 
*Throne Room / King’s Court
 
*Chancellor, which lets you play it more often
 
*Very long games / thin decks (both being situations where you can play it often)
 
=== Antisynergies ===
 
*The existence of more attractive $4 Actions
 
*The existence of more attractive terminal Actions in a set without +Actions
 
*Sets that lead to fast games (e.g., Chapel, Gardens, or even Envoy if opponents opened Envoy/Silver)
