Victory tokens (usually abbreviated as VP tokens or tokens) can be gained by certain cards in Prosperity and Empires. They keep a tally of how much 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 1 , 2 and 5 . Prosperity comes with 16 1 tokens and 15 5 tokens; if they run out, players can use another means to count their .

Official Rules
- "+X " - The player takes X tokens. He takes them from the pile of unused tokens, not from another player. When a player first takes tokens, he takes a player mat to put them on. tokens are not private; anyone can count them. There are 1 and 5 tokens; players make change as needed. At the end of the game, players add the 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. tokens are used by Bishop, Goons, and Monument.

Each token card plays differently. Please see their respective articles for strategic advice.
Trivia
Secret History
I also added the 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.
