Victory

A victory card is a card type that gives the player a certain number of victory points. Cards that give victory points via victory tokens, however, are not considered victory cards. Players who notice the game is nearing an end and try to buy or gain victory cards every remaining turn are said to be greening or "going green" because victory cards themselves are colored green. Victory cards such as Duke and Silk Road are used in alt-VP (alternate victory point) strategies.
