Some Victory tokens.

Victory tokens (usually abbreviated as VP tokens or VP tokens) can be gained by certain cards in Prosperity. They keep a tally of how much VP a player has accrued over the game by means other than Victory cards. They are represented by metal shields similar to the icon used on Victory cards, in units of 1VP and 5VP. The expansion comes with 16 1VP tokens and 15 5VP tokens; if they run out, players can use another means to count their VP.

Victory token cards

  • BishopBishop.jpg, which always gives +$1 and +1VP, then trashes a card, giving VP equal to half the trashed card's cost in $, rounded down
  • MonumentMonument.jpg, a terminal Silver that gives 1 VP token
  • GoonsGoons.jpg, a WoodcutterWoodcutter.jpg/MilitiaMilitia.jpg mashup that gives 1 VP token with every card you buy

Official Rules

  • "+XVP" - The player takes XVP tokens. He takes them from the pile of unused tokens, not from another player. When a player first takes VP tokens, he takes a player mat to put them on. VP tokens are not private; anyone can count them. There are 1VP and 5VP tokens; players make change as needed. At the end of the game, players add the VP they have from tokens to their regular score. If the tokens run out, use something else to track any further tokens; players are not limited by the number of tokens available. VP tokens are used by Bishop, Goons, and Monument.

Strategy

Each VP token card plays differently. Please see their respective articles for strategic advice.

Trivia

Secret History

I also added the VP tokens. Monument hadn't always been in the set, and then at one point left, tentatively slated for Dark Ages. I brought it back as a thing people liked that seemed to fit well. I knew tokens would be used for Monument, and also that people would be disappointed if it was the only card that used them (Seaside just had one use per token type because the set did not originally use tokens). In the end I managed to have three cards that used them.
