Victory Point Race FAQ

Answers to common questions about Victory Point Race.

Frequently asked questions

How do I start with three cards?

From four dealt cards, keep two, discard one and pass one. Receive one from the neighboring player; your two kept cards plus the received card enter play.

Can I activate a card more than once?

Yes, while you have activations remaining, unless its card text limits activation. Roll 1d4 at the start of the turn for your activation allowance.

Who earns points when a card reaches a threshold?

Defending your card to 0 VC earns your side 1 VP. Attacking an opposing card to 35 VC earns the attacking side 1 VP. Deleting your own or a friendly card does not award a VP. Card-specific exceptions still apply.

Do negative Attack or Defend values reverse direction?

No. A negative action value resolves as zero. Attack does not become Defend, and Defend does not become Attack.

Do P2P cards change the mode rules?

No. Follow the VPR rules and each card’s text. The separate Prompt2Pwn FAQ explains dice history, stored dice, upgrades and token reactions.
