Player mats
Player mats (playmats or mats for short) are pieces of cardboard used by certain cards to set aside resources for future use. Island sets aside cards on a mat until the end of the game. Pirate Ship and Trade Route set aside Tokens on a mat to keep track of they generate when played. Native Village sets cards aside to be drawn later. Cards that produce tokens put them on a mat to be scored at the end of the game. The Tavern mat is a place to keep your Reserve cards until you call them. The Coffers / Villagers mats keep coin tokens in reserve for extra + and +Actions when needed. The Trash mat is the place to keep cards that are trashed during the game. The Exile mat is for keeping exiled cards until they can be discarded. The Favors mat is for keeping gained Favor tokens, until they can be spent for various Allies activities.

Tokens
A token is a metal, cardboard, or wooden piece used in Dominion. They are used to track various game states that are not represented directly by cards. Some sets use tokens as one of their primary themes; some tokens are only used by a single card.

Victory tokens (or VP tokens, denoted by the symbol ) are metal tokens featured in Prosperity and Empires, and are an example of alt-VP. These are chips that players may earn by playing certain cards, buying certain Events, or meeting the conditions of certain Landmarks. cannot run out; players should use a substitute if needed.
Coin tokens

Pirate Ship, Trade Route, Sinister Plot and Garrison also use these tokens to track their own effects. Coin tokens cannot run out; players should use a substitute if needed.
