What do the influence tokens placed by Deploy do during Winter cleanup, and do they count toward my score?

The designer answered this directly, and the rulebook's Cleanup step describes the same removal.

  • The Old King's Crown rulebook · Rulebook · 2. Cleanup

A Deployed card keeps its place through Winter only while it carries an influence token. In the Cleanup step, a card with a token stays out and loses exactly one token, which goes back to the Reserve. A card without a token is discarded. The tokens come from and return to the Reserve, not to any player's Supply, so they never count toward your Influence.
