Token (トークン Tōkun) is a special marker created by a card's ability during the game. They are introduced in Extra Pack 8: Nippon Ichi Software 3.
A Token possesses its own parameters like a regular card and is treated as such if placed on Square during gameplay. However, they are not actual cards and would simply cease to exist when they left the Square.
Unlike other card games, an ability that creates a Token simply refer to the created Token by its name, and the parameters possessed by the Token are listed on a dedicated Token Marker (トークンマーカー Tōkun Mākā) instead. Therefore, it is mandatory to bring the dedicated Token Marker when using cards that are able to create Token. The dedicated Token Marker are available either in sealed packs or as data downloads.
Since a Token is specified only by its name in the card text, it is possible for two Token Marker to share the same name but different parameters (e.g. "Symphony of the Budding World"), and it's up to the player to determine which one to use during the game in that case.
In addition to its in-game properties and usage, Token may also be used to represent the changed state of a Player card during the game as dictated by the rule. How this is actually performed remains to be seen since there is no official Token specifically created for that purpose as of now.
For the list of all available Token, see Category:Token.
