victory points
Winning score units
Victory points are a scoring mechanism in board games and video games, representing progress toward winning.
Rather than eliminating opponents or reaching a finish line, players accumulate points through various achievements—controlling territory, completing objectives, collecting resources.
The player with the most victory points at game's end wins: I'm three victory points away from winning.
