'''Victory tokens''' (usually abbreviated as '''VP tokens''' or {{VP}} tokens) can be gained by certain cards, [[Event]]s, and [[Landmark]]s in [[Prosperity]] and [[Empires]]. 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 1{{VP}}, 2{{VP}} and 5{{VP}}. Prosperity comes with 16 1{{VP}} tokens and 15 5{{VP}} tokens, while Empires comes with 24 1{{VP}} tokens, 12 2{{VP}} tokens and 20 5{{VP}} tokens; if they run out, players can use another means to count their {{VP}}. | '''Victory tokens''' (usually abbreviated as '''VP tokens''' or {{VP}} tokens) can be gained by certain cards, [[Event]]s, and [[Landmark]]s in [[Prosperity]] and [[Empires]].

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 1{{VP}} and 5{{VP}} 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. | |

− | + | Victory Point tokens {{VP}} are simply tokens that are worth {{VP}} at the end of the game. They provide a way to score that does not appear in a player's deck. They come in 1 (small silver shield), 2 (small gold shield), and 5 (large silver shield) amounts; make change as needed. They are not counter-limited; use a replacement if you run out. Cards say "+1 {{VP}}" (or other amounts) to indicate that a player takes a {{VP}} token or tokens. Cards that give +{{VP}} or "add" {{VP}} tokens to a pile take the tokens from the pile of unused tokens, not from a player. {{VP}} tokens are not private; anyone can count them. | |

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. |
