| − | '''Victory''' is a [[card type]]. Victory cards typically give the player a certain number of [[victory point|victory points]]. Four Victory cards are [[basic cards]]: {{Card|Estate}}, {{Card|Duchy}}, and {{Card|Province}}, which are in the [[supply]] in every game; and {{Card|Colony}}, which may be added in games using [[Kingdom card|Kingdom cards]] from [[Prosperity]]. One, {{Card|Overgrown Estate}}, is a [[Shelter]] (and the only Victory card that is never worth any victory points). The remaining Victory cards are [[Kingdom card|Kingdom cards]], collectively referred to as [[alt-VP]], or "alternate victory points". (The "alt-VP" category also often includes cards that give victory points via [[victory token|victory tokens]]; however, these are not considered Victory cards.) Some alt-VP cards are worth a variable number of points, depending on the state of the deck of the player who owns them; others, like the basic Victory cards, have a constant value. | + | '''Victory''' is a [[card type]].

The majority of Victory cards are [[dead]] cards during the game—i.e., although you score victory points by having them in your deck at the end of the game, they have little or no use ''during'' gameplay itself; and therefore having them in your deck weakens what you can achieve on each turn. The few victory cards that are not dead in your deck are typically worth relatively few victory points. Therefore the central strategic tension of Dominion is the following: how can you gain the Victory cards that you need in order to win the game, without unduly burdening your deck each turn with dead cards that will prevent you from being able to gain additional Victory cards on future turns? | The majority of Victory cards are [[dead]] cards during the game—i.e., although you score victory points by having them in your deck at the end of the game, they have little or no use ''during'' gameplay itself; and therefore having them in your deck weakens what you can achieve on each turn.
