Specialist roles

Saving actions

Each player picks a specialist card to start the game. As noted on the
cards, specialists have unique abilities, a certain number of normal APs
each turn, and sometimes free additional APs each turn.

You can save normal action

points for later turns up to
4 total. Keep track using
saved action tokens "
You cannot save free
additional APs.

CHANGING ROLES
To change your role during the game, spend 2 APs while at the engine
at the start of your turn and pick a new role. Keep saved action tokens.
You can now use new specialists points less the 2 you spent to change.

Colored player cards matching your

firefighter figure are a good place to put
your saved action tokens.
