After level Upgrades, players; upon defeating the maverick boss of a Level can either upgrade one of their DATA stats by one token or can add 5 tokens to their energy pool you may take this no more than 3 times or 5 tokens to their special weapon token pool you may take this no more than 3 times: finally refill your current token pools to full for the start of the next level

Upon Entering a Level on the first screen give the Maverick token to the Player with the highest Drive, it is this players responsibility to act as the screens enemies hazards in addition to his own Reploid, upon entering a new screen pass the Maverick token to the player on the left. Every time the maverick token player damages himself or another player with an enemies strike or shoot he receives one stage resource token, these tokens may be used to place energy or special weapon capsules for the hunter team after an enemy is destroyed, no such tokens are awarded if a player is damaged by a stage hazard, if a hunter is loses his last Energy pool token he is defeated and returns to Hunter base for repairs he may not get an upgrade after the maverick boss is defeated , but he is still included in the maverick token rotationTurn order, the player with the highest Drive will go first: on your turn you may perform two actions you may : Move, Shoot, Strike A move will let you move your playing piece up to a number of squares equal to your Drive these can include any movement to a non obstructed square as long as they are made in one square increments, the only exception is if you move to the air , this is called a jump, without the flight ability a player may only spend one turn in the air and will, unless they use a later move to adjust their position ,fall directly down to the ground at the start of their next turn you may also shoot: when you shoot you may pick one of the four directions up down left or right and from your tokens location an Aim attack will appear and travel in a straight line for a number of squares equal to your Aim if it hits an enemy they will take damage equal to your Aim- the enemies Armor or you may strike: when you strike you may pick one adjacent square and make a Torque attack if it hits an enemy they will take damage equal to your Torque- the enemies Armor you may make any combination of move, shoot, or strike in a turn so long as you do not make more than 2 actions per turn, you may also save one of your actions to act later in the turn should you so choose perhaps in response to an enemies move, shoot, or strike action. you may however only save up one such action per turn Variant Play: One Maverick player Three hunters: in this style of play rather than pass the Maverick Token around one player has it all the time , this player ( the Maverick) only controls the stage enemies now and wins the game by defeating all the hunters, in this mode the maverick player does not acquire resource tokens and instead the hunters have a pool of resource tokens equal to 2 for every screen in the stage that they can use as they see fit for capsulesVariant Play: May the best Hunter win: in this mode of play the four hunters are on a training mission and trying to deactivate each other. The Maverick Token is still in effect and works normally however even though the hunters are out to beat each other they still have to contend with the stage enemies and hazards
