The object of [[Dominion]] is to have the most '''victory points''' ({{VP}}) at the end of the game. These are chiefly obtained by having [[Victory card|Victory cards]] in one's deck at the end of the game. {{Card|Curse}} cards are worth negative victory points. Several cards, [[Event|Events]] and [[Landmark|Landmarks]] from [[Prosperity]] and [[Empires]] produce [[victory token|victory point tokens]], which are also worth victory points and don't take up space in the deck themselves, while other Landmarks provide bonus or penalty victory points at the end of the game based on various criteria. Sources of victory points excluding [[basic cards]] are called [[alt-VP]].

Variable VP cards typically give {{VP}} based on the cards in your own deck, always rounded down if they count in multiples larger than 1. Many of them benefit from large decks. {{Landmark|Bandit Fort}}, {{Landmark|Wolf Den}} and {{Landmark|Wall}} are the only means of receiving negative victory points other than {{Card|Curse}}s and {{Hex|Misery}}

== Trivia ==
+
=== Symbol ===
+
In Donald X.'s prototype, the {{VP}} symbol was a crown instead of a shield.
+
{{Quote|Text=
+
I picked the crown, I liked the crown. I don't know why it was changed to a shield. A crown is better. If they considered other symbols they did not tell me about it.
+
  
I don't have any more information on the shield; I don't know what that's supposed to be. I don't know anything about heraldry; I have tried to get anachronisms fixed when I've spotted them. I don't even see the shield except when testing campaigns or something online; the prototype has crowns.
