The mean streets of New Angeles just got a whole lot

meaner. In Android: Hunters, you are a detective for the NewAngeles PD whos attem!ting to solve a "rutal murder case,

!ut together the cons!iracy "ehind it, and not fall !rey to

your own !ersonal demons. #oure used to cases li$e this.

This time, however, theres also a vicious $iller on your trail, a

watchdog for the !owerful figures "ehind the cons!iracy.

This $iller, du""ed a %Hunter,& has "een ordered to ma$e sure

you dont solve the case''whatever it ta$es. (very street

corner could "e a deadly tra!, and every lead you arrive at

an hour too late nets the Hunter valua"le dirt)information

that can, and will, "e used to destroy you and everything you

hold dear.

introductory disclaimerThere are many reasons why this variant may or may not be for you. I invite

you to consider them before investing the time and effort to learn the many

minor rule changes Android:Huntersintroduces. First, you will probably notappreciate this variant if you do not already enjoy the Androidboard game,

or if you do not normally enjoy playing solitaire games. All changes I

introduced were made in the spirit of making Androidfunction as a single-

player game, not to fi!" the original. #econd, you should not go into this

variant e!pecting a perfect recreation of multiplayer Android, or a finely

tuned solo game. It is somewhere in between. $hat I have attempted to do, to

the best of my ability, is find an e!cuse to get more play out of a game that

I genuinely love but have a miserable time convincing others to try. It is

far from the perfect solitaire game, even by my own standards, but I think I

have managed to preserve some of Android%s strongest assets& its ability to

create an evocative narrative, the asymmetric play styles associated with its

' detectives, and the juggling act of its multiple paths to victory and(or

defeat.

Finally, I do not own the rights to Android, and although I have done my best

not to impinge on any intellectual property owned by Fantasy Flight )ames,

all material in this variant is used entirely without their e!press consent.

GoalAndroid& *untersis played very much like the normal game ofAndroid+you willfollow leads, gain and spend favors to make sure your guilty hunch does time,

your personal plots turn rosy and your personal favors are worth a damn at

the end of two weeks. You won't have to actively compete against other

detectives this time however, you'll find each of the activities mentioned

a!ove "ust a little !it tougher to achieve with a Hunter on your tail.

#nstead of a race against the other players to place evidence and piece

together the conspiracy, punctuated !y !ack$and$forth !attles of light and

dark cards,Android& *untersis a tense game of cat and mouse across the

whole of %ew Angeles and !eyond. &pect plots you thought you had under

control to end !adly, crippling dark cards to hit you out of nowhere, and a

new conspiracy that will only get you so far. #t'll take careful planning and

luck in e(ual measures to come out of this with your life intact....

Android& *untersis defined !y its A# antagonist, who plays (uite differently

from a normal detective. )ust as each detective has their own uni(ue

strengths, weaknesses, and play style, each character inAndroid& *unters has

his or her own Hunter with uni(ue !ehavioral (uirks and weaknesses. However,

all games ofAndroid& *untersshare a certain set of !asic rules, which are

outlined !elow.

&nd$game scoring is accomplished *almost+ eactly the same as in the normal

game. &ach detectiveHunter pairing has its own uni(ue level of difficulty

and compleity, generally following the order it appears in this rule!ook, so

when recording your score, remem!er to keep track of which detective you were

using-

The following rules describe changes to the standard setup and gameplay, no

matter which detective you are using. For additional changes that will be

applied depending on which detective character you have chosen, turn to the

Character-Specific Rules" section at the end of this document.

Setupet up Android: Hunters as you would a normal /$player game, ecept as

descri!ed !elow. lace leads, gain starting !onuses, and put %1s into play

as noted on your detective sheet. #n addition, place the leads for your

Hunter, !ut do not give them %1s, favors, or other !onuses unless

specifically noted in the Character-Specific Rules. lace suspects, the

scene of the crime marker, 3ily 3ockwell, and )immy the nitch according to

the directions on the murder sheet. 4o not place your hero marker at the

scene of the crime.

You will !e playing with four suspects. #n addition, draw an etra

investigator sheet at random and place the lead tokens as listed on that

sheet. et up pu55le pieces and favors as you normally would. There are two

additional setup steps in Android& *unters, referred to as Frame and ersonal

Affairs.6hese steps are descri!ed !elow.

777

Frame:#nAndroid& *unters, you're the only detective on the case$$the onlyone who matters, anyway. 8ecause of this, you won't !e competing with other

players to place evidence on the suspects. 4on't think your "o!'s going to !e

any easier !ecause of it, though. 8y the time the case hit your desk, there

was already a frame "o! in play, and it'll take all the evidence you can find

to swing the investigation !ack on track.

6o set up the frame, remove the following evidence tokens from play:

+4 (X2), +3 (X3), +2 (X6), +1 (X7), -1 (X4), -2 (X3), -3 (X2), surprise witness (X2), perjury (X3)

huffle the /2 tokens you've "ust removed and place them randomly face down

*without peeking-+ on the four suspects, divided evenly so that each suspect

has 9 facedown tokens. 6he !alance on each suspect sheet should !e as

follows: 2 tokens on the suspect's trong file, / tokens on %ormal, and / on

eak. 6hese tokens represent the evidence the conspiracy has planted against

each suspect !efore your investigation !egins.


5/40

5

At this point, you should draw your ;uilty and #nnocent hunch cards. ithout

looking at the values on the tokens, move all of the facedown evidence from

the trong file to the eak file of your guilty hunch, and move all of the

evidence from the eak file to the trong file of your #nnocent hunch. henyou are done, your ;uilty hunch should have no trong evidence, / %ormal

evidence, and < eak evidence, while your #nnocent hunch should have < trong

evidence, / %ormal evidence, and no eak evidence. 6he other suspects should

retain the 2$/$/ distri!ution they started with.

#f you are =!sessed, follow the procedure listed a!ove for your ;uilty hunch.

6hen, move > random piece of evidence from each other suspect's weak file to

their strong file.

huffle the remaining 29 tokens and place them in a facedown draw pile, as in

the normal setup.

Personal Affairs:?or this step, you should refer to the @Character-SpecificRules for details. et up your detective's 3ight deck as normal. However,

your 4ark deck will !e divided into several distinct piles depending on the

detective !eing used. 8e sure to follow the instructions carefully so that

you can distinguish !etween these piles without confusion. ?inally, remove

the specified cards from the 4ark deck of the detective who is representing

your Hunter to create your ;rudge deck for the game. Arrange your 4ark 1ards

into up to four separate piles, starting in the space on the !oard where the&vent deck is normally placed. %et, place your 3ight deck and finally,

place your ;rudge deck on the sith space. eep the &vent deck near the !oard

instead of its usual spot. ut the remaining 4ark cards and all of your

opponent's 3ight cards !ack in the !o you won't !e needing them.

777

You will !e needing / etra tokens during the game: 4irt, ;rudge, and 6raps.

# have used 8aggage tokens to represent all / of these, and since there is

only one plot in play at any time, you should have enough etras to cover

them in most cases. #f you run out, first see if you can remove any tokensfrom your own plot card *for instance, if you have B light and / dark

!aggage, you can usually remove / of each color, leaving only 2 light

!aggage+. #f you still re(uire etras, the Hunter will discard / 4irt tokens

to give you > !ad !aggage *usually only done on plot resolution days+ until

enough tokens are freed up.


6/40

6

Throughout the game, irt tokens and )rudge tokens are used interchangeably

with ark cards in any cases where the latter could be gained, lost, spent or

sacrificed. 6he Hunter !egins the game with / 4irt tokens. You !egin the game

with 2 3ight cards and > ;rudge token.

You will need the Hunter's lead tokens, player figure, and the cards

specified in their ;rudge deck. Cnless specifically noted, you may return all

other materials !elonging to the Hunter's character to the !o. Hunters

cannot gain or lose favors, draw 3ight cards, or have personal plots, and

their %1's status does not affect the outcome of the game.

?inally, place initial 6rap tokens as descri!ed in the @Character-Specific

Rules. 6he Hunter acts first each day.

General otes#n case of conflict !etween the general rules and character$specific rules,

character$specific rules will always take precedent. A crucial rule change is

that unless specifically noted in the @Character-Specific Rules, the lay

this card when..." portion of ark ards is always ignored. 8oth you and the

Hunter have a specific method for putting 4ark 1ards into play, and once in

play, the cards will take effect at the earliest possi!le moment. 6he main

eception is cards that re(uire an %1 to !e alive or dead, which are

descri!ed in more detail in the @Character-Specific Rules.

6he Hunter is always considered the first player, and acts first on each day.

#n this variant, the cene of the 1rime location offers a uni(ue alternative

!enefit for those who spend time there.

Cnless specified in the @Character-Specific Rules, there is a >0$token

maimum limit to !oth the 4irt and ;rudge tokens used !y the Hunter and the

player, respectively. %o tokens can !e gained !eyond this limit.


7/40

7

#n general, for the purposes of determining the cost of the Hunter's 4ark

cards, the Hunter's plot is considered to !e identical in color to the

player's. &ceptions are noted in the @Character-Specific Rules.

4uring the game, the Hunter may attempt to @tag you, causing you to draw a

4ark card from your 6ag deck. 6here are other game effects, such as the

Hunter having >0 4irt tokens at the start of your turn, that will also cause

you to draw a card from your 6ag 4eck. ome negative effects *e.g. gaining a

!ad !aggage+ are only applied in the former case in these situations, the

rule will specify that the Hunter has physically tagged you. You may only !e

physically tagged once per day, though other circumstances may cause you to

draw 2 or more cards from your 6ag deck.

All plots enter play with > !ad !aggage on them *2 if you are playing as

Daymond+.

#n general, murder$specific rules do not change the Hunter's !ehavior.

However, they might still affect the Hunter if the changes are mandatory, not

optional. ?or eample, a rule that states that leads must !e moved !etween

%ew Angeles and Heinlein will affect how the Hunter moves leads, !ut a rule

that states that players @may gain a !enefit for entering certain locations

will !e ignored !y the Hunter.

ome 4ark cards or &vents result in the Hunter discarding the @highest$value

or @lowest$value faceup evidence from certain suspects. #n these cases, as

when removing evidence from the strong and weak files at the end of the game,

refer only to evidence with printed num!ers on it, ignoring per"ury, surprise

witnesses and ali!is.

8ecause ;rudge tokens take the place of 4ark cards, the normal hand si/e is

reduced to ' cards normally. 6his corresponds to the maimum of >0 ;rudge

tokens. #f a detective's hand si5e is increased or reduced, use B cards as a

!ase. 6he ;rudge token maimum is always dou!le the player's hand si5e. ?or

instance, Daymond has a maimum hand si5e of < cards and >2 ;rudge tokens,


8/40

8

while ?loyd's plot that reduces his hand si5e gives him a maimum of E cards

and 9 ;rudge tokens.

henever the Hunter has the opportunity to place hit tokens, they will target

your guilty hunch or your innocent hunch, in that order. The *unter always

places 0 hits tokens at a time*ecept if the murder is 3ast 1all at Doie's,

in which case the Hunter only places > hit at a time+.

!our "urn6he Hunter always acts first. After the @Hunter's Turn *descri!ed after this

section, for the sake of clarity+, you play your turn eactly as you would in

a normal game ofAndroid, with the following eceptions:

"a##in# and $ark Cards:#f you were tagged during the previous Hunter 6urn*see @Hunter's Turn for more details+, and if the Hunter had sufficient 4irt

to pay the cost of the dark card triggered, it takes effect at the start of

your turn. After resolving all effects listed on the card and paying the cost

in 4irt tokens, you may discard it and continue with your turn. Important&

you may not, under any circumstances, enter the *unter%s location during your

turn unless moved there by a dark card.

Also, if the *unter has 12 irt tokens at the start of your turn, you always

draw and resolve a card from the Tag deck, regardless of whether the Hunter

physically tagged you the previous turn.

"%ili#ht "rack:=nly 3ight cards affect your position on the 6wilight 6rack.6o play a 3ight card, you still pay the twilight cost in full, "ust as in the

multiplayer game ofAndroid. However, in order to shift !ack from dark to

light,you may spend 1 time to discard 1 light card from your hand. Any card

you discard in this way light shifts you by a factor e3ual to the card%s cost

*which can !e increased or decreased as though you were playing a 6wilight

1ard normally: !y matching your current plot, !eing 3ouis, etc.+. #t's okay

if the card's cost eceeds the amount you're a!le to light shift in this

case, simply light shift fully. 4ou may only discard 1 card per 1 time spent,


9/40

9

and you may not gain any other benefit by doing this 5such as a benefit for

sacrificing a light card6.

6he twilight track is unaffected !y playing cards from your ;rudge deck *see

!elow+. Any game effect that allows you to dark shift, such as pu55le pieces

and ?ights, instead allows you to gain > ;rudge token. The e!ception is dark

cards that force you to dark shift fully& these move your token on the

Twilight Track, and no )rudge tokens are gained. 3ight shifting as a result

of either of these effects is handled as per usual.

$ra%in# $ark Cards:Any game effect that would allow you to draw anopponent's 4ark card, including entering a seedy location, spending > time at

any location, or the secondary effect of certain 4ark or 3ight cards, insteadcauses you to gain > ;rudge token. eep your ;rudge tokens net to the ;rudge

deck descri!ed in @Setup.$hen you have gained a minimum of ' )rudge tokens,

you may spend 2 time at any location to draw a card from the )rudge deck and

put it into play.You must spend its entire twilight cost in ;rudge tokens,

modified !y any game effects that allow you to alter the cost of 4ark cards.

7nless specifically noted, treat the *unter%s plot as though it were a color

matching your own for the purposes of adjusting cost. Any leftover ;rudge

tokens remain in your possession, and can !e used toward your net draw from

the ;rudge deck. 4ou may never draw a card from the )rudge deck unless you

have at least ' )rudge tokens, and this action counts as playing a ark card

for the purpose of any game effect.

1ards from the ;rudge deck take effect at the !eginning of the Hunter's net

turn unless specifically noted. You may perform this action again as many

times as you like, !ut it costs 1 time for each additional )rudge card you

draw and resolve in the same turn. Additionally, all ;rudge cards must !e

applied during the Hunter's net turn, even if the effect would !e redundant,

unless specifically noted. =nce you have drawn a ;rudge card, you may not

escape paying its cost unless you cannot afford it this is the reason for

the B$token minimum.

;rudge tokens can !e spent or sacrificed as though they were 4ark cards to

reduce the cost of 3ight cards played or to gain good !aggage. ;rudge tokens

may not !e sacrificed to activate a Fa"or 3ocation. 4ou may have a ma!imum of

12 )rudge tokens at any time.


10/40

Follo%in# &eads:hen following a lead, the player has three options: studythe evidence, discover new evidence, or uncover the conspiracy. iscovering

new evidenceis identical to placing evidence in the normal game. All tokens

for this action are drawn from the 2E$token evidence pool you created in theSetupstep.All evidence placed in this way is played face-up.#tudying the

evidenceallows the detective to determine which pieces of evidence are

genuine and which are part of the frame "o! planted !y the conspirators. hen

you choose to study the evidence, you can look at a single face-down evidence

token 5in the appropriate file6 on any suspect and flip that token face-up.

7ncovering the conspiracyis descri!ed in a later section.

#t's possi!le that, in studying the evidence, you'll discover that the frame

"o! is so strong that there's nothing you can legally do to change the

outcome of the trial. #f this happens, the !est you can do is look out for

your personal plot and the overarching conspiracy. =f course, you could also

place a warrant on Humanity 3a!or....

'ovin# &eads:Cnless a game effect specifically allows you to move a lead*for eample, uncovering a lead icon on a pu55le piece, or certain lots+,

leads are always moved by the *unter, regardless of whose turn it is. 6o move

a lead, do the following:

Doll a si$sided die to determine which district the lead is moved to. >

refers to the upper$left district on Heinlein, < is the lower$right district

on &arth, and / is the 8eanstalk. )ust like in the normal game, leads must

remain on the same type *color+ of location they were moved from, and they

cannot !e moved to locations that already contain a lead. 6hey may !e moved

to the Hunter's district, !ut can't !e moved to another location in the same

district the lead started on *so the Hunter can't follow a lead and move it

to another location in the same district+. #f one of the a!ove rules prevents

you from moving the lead to the district indicated !y the die roll, roll

again.

The *unter will not move a lead to any location that already contains 0 Trap

tokens unless it is the only viable location in the district indicated.

#f there is more than one location of the appropriate color in the indicated

district, consult the @Character-Specific Rules.

hen a game effect allows the player to move a lead, do so according to the

guidelines in the original rule!ook.


11/40

11

&ily &ock%ell and (immy the Snitch:4ue to the changes in following leads and

placing evidence, 3ily 3ockwell's original a!ility is redundant and )immy'sis rendered too powerful *peeking at evidence is tantamount to revealing it

in the solitaire game+. 6heir new, re!alanced a!ilities are descri!ed !elow.

Jimmy the Snitch:pending 2 time at )immy the nitch's location lets the

player turn all the evidence in one file on any suspect sheet face up. This

can only be done once per turn. Afterward, move )immy the nitch to a new

location of your choice in a non$ad"acent district *the 8eanstalk is

considered to separate %ew Angeles and Heinlein, so it is okay to move )immy

!etween the &arth and an @ad"acent district on the moon+.

Lily Lockwell:pending 2 time at 3ily 3ockwell's location *this is stillmandatory if you move to her location+ allows the player to swap the

positions of any 2 face$up evidence tokens. 6his represents 3ily's !roadcast

Gsetting the record straightG on the case. 6his a!ility can !e used to swap

evidence !etween a suspect's strong, normal and weak files or to swap

evidence !etween suspects. If swapping evidence between suspects, the

evidence must remain in the strong, weak, or normal evidence file--the

strength of the file matters, not the evidence type. 3ike )immy's a!ility,

this can only be done once per turn. Afterward, move 3ily 3ockwell to a new

location of your choice in a non$ad"acent district *the 8eanstalk counts as a

district !etween %ew Angeles and Heinlein, so it is okay to move 3ily !etween

the &arth and an ad"acent district on the moon+. #f you are moved to 3ily's

location and can't afford to spend 2 time, you end your turn immediately and

don't get to use her a!ility or move her token. #f you start your turn on

3ily's location, you may voluntarily spend 2 time to activate her a!ility

!efore moving.

Scene of the Crime:6he Hunter is always considered the first @player inAndroid& *unters this can't !e changed !y visiting the scene of the crime.

isiting the scene of the crime has another important !enefit, however: 8y

spending 1 time there, the player can force the *unter to discard up to 0

irt tokens*see @Hunter's Turn for an eplanation of 4irt tokens+. 6his

action can !e performed multiple times per turn, and represents the detective

finding evidence that forces the Hunter to act a little more cautiously.


12/40

12

)ncoverin# the Conspiracy:#nAndroid& *unters, you are the only detectiveworking on uncovering the conspiracy. However, that doesn't mean you can

afford to stick your nose in too deep. Demem!er, the conspirators already

have a Hunter on your tail, which means you'll have to conduct yourinvestigations with etra discretion. 8ecause of this, over the course of the

game,you can form a ma!imum of 9 links to separate groups in the conspiracy

over the course of the game. 6he moment you link to the third group, the %A4

clamps down on your investigation, and you no longer have the option to draw

or place pu55le pieces when following a lead. You may, of course, create

multiple links from different sides of the conspiracy toward one or more of

your / groups, !ut these links must already !e esta!lished !y the time you

link to your third group. Haas$8ioroid and )inteki count toward this total

*although as with any other group, multiple Haas or )inteki links are

allowed+.

You no longer receive a IE conspiracy token for completing rows and

columns. 4ou do receive a single conspiracy token when you link to your third

and final group, just before the conspiracy shuts down.

ince you pro!a!ly won't have a chance to deplete multiple conspiracy draw

piles, 4igging 4eeper !ecomes more valua!le in this game if you want access

to the more powerful !onuses or the Haas)inteki links. However, this will

reduce your chances of eposing multiple links and earning your IE !onus. #n

addition, you'll have to think carefully a!out which / groups you'd !enefit

the most !y linking to, and how many turns you can afford to spend doing so.

If a pu//le piece%s bonus allows you to draw another pu//le piece, but you

cannot do so because the third link was completed by the previous piece,

simply draw and discard the e!tra piece, gaining any bonuses printed on it.

All links to the conspiracy !ehave as printed on the game !oard, ecept that

ardinal :eese should read& ;#ad per link.;#n other words,

this reduces the negative point value of ad &ndings, making them slightly

less damaging. ince Hunters don't have personal plots, the player would

never !enefit from increasing the damage of ad &ndings.

Broadcast S*uare:8roadcast (uare's a!ility is slightly modified in thisvariant. #nstead of drawing and placing a pu55le piece from any pile, the

piece you draw must !e from the pile currently a!ove your hero marker.

However, you unlike following a lead,your hero marker doesn%t move following

this action.


13/40

13

Additionally, when using 8roadcast (uare, after drawing and looking at !oth

sides of the piece, you must make a choice: You may discard it, gaining the

!onuses printed on !oth sides, or you may add the piece to the conspiracy

pu55le, gaining none of the printed !onuses. You may continue to use thisa!ility, taking the discard option, even after the conspiracy pu55le is shut

down. Demem!er, though, that you may only use each Fa"or 3ocation's a!ility

once per turn.

Plots:lots play out "ust like in the normal game. You still gain good and!ad !aggage toward your plots as listed on the cards, with a few eceptions

listed in the @Character-Specific Rules. #n addition, you may gain !ad

!aggage as a result of specific Hunter actions, as descri!ed in @Hunter's

Turn. 6his is always in addition to !ad !aggage gained when your plot'snegative !aggage condition is fulfilled, so you can potentially gain !ad

!aggage at dou!le the normal rate. Happy endings are hard to come !y when

there's a Hunter on your tail.

"ri##erin# "raps and +ther $ark Cards:As the Hunter moves across the !oard,he or she will leave 6rap tokens !ehind at every location visited. #f your

movement forces you to land on one of these locations, and if your Hunter has

at least > 4irt token, reveal a dark card from your 6rap deck *descri!ed in

the @Character-Specific Rules+. If your *unter has enough irt tokens to

afford its cost, the ark card takes effect, whether or not the location that

triggered the reveal matches the type listed on the card.#f your Hunter

can't afford the card's cost, it is discarded and nothing happens *no 4irt

tokens are lost and no !ad !aggage is gained+. #n either case, remove > trap

token from the location and continue your turn if you are a!le.

#n addition to 6rap cards, there are other actions you can take on your turn

to trigger a reveal from one of your 4ark card decks, descri!ed in detail in

the @Character-Specific Rules.

Ba##a#e "okens:ince you'll !e using !aggage tokens for a lot of differentthings in this game, you might consider only tracking the net balanceof your

!aggage on your personal plot. #f you had accumulated E !ad !aggage, and you

then gained > good !aggage, you would track this !y removinga !ad !aggage


14/40

rather than addinga good one. 6he only eception is 1aprice's G4escent #nto

FadnessG plot.

Suspects-unches: You still receive one innocent and one guilty hunch, as inthe normal game. However, since no other player has received these cards,

there will !e three unused hunch cards of each kind rather than one. If any

game effect would allow you to look at the unused hunch cards, you may

instead choose to discard either your guilty or innocent hunch and randomly

draw a new one to replace it. #n addition, your innocent hunch only pays off

if that character is themost innocentsurviving suspect at the end of the

game. %o!ody said that !eing a detective in %ew Angeles was easy-

-unters "urnGrud#e Cards:Any ;rudge cards you played on your previous turn take effectat the !eginning of the Hunter's turn *with certain eceptions listed the

@Character-Specific Rules+. #f there are multiple ;rudge cards in play, the

player chooses the order in which they take effect. After resolving its

effects, discard the card. #f you played a ?ight card on the Hunter, you

choose the outcome *although sometimes there is only one outcome that would

have an effect+. 6he Hunter never light or dark shifts.

-unter 'ovement:6he Hunter is (uick and agile. hen the Hunter moves, his or

her ruler is not used. #nstead, the Hunter moves either directly to locations

within the Hunter's district, or moves from district to district when moving

to a new district. $hen moving from district to district, the *unter spends 1

time to move to the center of any adjacent district, repeating this as

necessary until the target district is reached.6he center of a district is

not considered a location, and no 6rap token is left !ehind *see !elow+. 6he

Hunter is merely @in town.

6he 8eanstalk is an eception. 6he Hunter moves through the 8eanstalk

normally, ecept the *unter may move up to 0 spaces in the 8eanstalk for 1

time.6his is the same as the Hunter @skipping a space per movement, and the

Hunter should not leave 6rap tokens !ehind in skipped spaces.


15/40

hen moving directly to locations, the Hunter spends > time, regardless of

whether it is a Destricted location, although the time re(uired to travel may

!e modified !y the murder and event cards in play. 6he distance within the

district is not important. %ote that the Hunter never moves directly to alocation in another he or she always moves to the district first, then

directly to the location. 6hus, it will always take a minimum of 0 time to

move to a location in another district.

hen moving and spending time, the Hunter always applies the priorities

listed !elow. 6he Hunter will only pursue a lower$priority action if a

higher$priority action is unavaila!le.

1) #f there is an active &vent at a location in the Hunter's current

district, the Hunter will move directly to that location and then

response to a plot card resolving.

Also note that if the *unter has 12 irt tokens at the start of your turn,

you must draw and resolve a card from the Tag deck, regardless of whether you

'a/or &ocations, 0arrants, etc.:&cept as descri!ed a!ove, Hunters don't

activate Fa"or 3ocations. 6hey also don't gain or lose favors or trigger3ight or 4ark cards in the usual way. 3ocations that re(uire warrants do not

cause Hunters to spend etra time, !ut leads will seldom !e moved there.

eedy and rit5y locations have no effect for Hunters.

&ily &ock%ell and (immy the Snitch:#n general,Hunters will ignore )immy thenitch ecept to resolve an active &vent card. If a *unter moves onto Bily

Bockwell%s space, it automatically spends 0 time 5if possible6 to remove the

highest-value faceup guilty evidence from your )uilty *unch. #f there is no

faceup evidence on your ;uilty Hunch, the Hunter removes a random facedownevidence from your ;uilty Hunch's strongest file. #f the Hunter has only >

time remaining after moving onto 3ily's location, it spends > time instead.

#f the Hunter has 0 time remaining after moving onto 3ily's location, it

spends 2 time and removes the evidence at the start of its net turn. 6he

removed token is shuffled into the pool of unused evidence. 3ily is then

moved !y the Hunter as though she were a lead.

"raps: &very time the Hunter moves to a new location, place a 6rap token

*negative !aggage token+ on that location. There can be a ma!imum of 0 Traptokens in a single location at any time. 6his does not apply when the Hunter

is moving from district to district. #f the player later enters this location

*after the Hunter has moved on+, there's a chance a dark card will !e

cost e!tra time to do so.#f you run out of !aggage tokens and can't remove

any as descri!ed in @General Notes, from your character's lot remove 6rap

tokens that are already on the !oard, !eginning with the one farthest from

the player's current location.

$irt "okens:eedy or rit5y locations, as previously stated, have no effecton Hunters. Any other game effect that would allow the Hunter to draw one of

your 4ark cards allows the Hunter to gain a 4irt token instead. 6he Hunter

will spend these 4irt tokens to pay the twilight cost for your 4ark cards

after they are triggered *!y various game effect descri!ed in the @Character-

Specific Rules+.

The *unter may have a ma!imum of 12 irt tokens at any time. #f a 4ark card

triggers and the Hunter doesn't have enough 4irt tokens to pay the cost, the

card is discarded with no effect *no 4irt tokens are lost+. A cunning

detective will look for opportunities to move safely through 6raps andperform other risky actions when the Hunter's supply of 4irt tokens is low.

Follo%in# &eads:Hunters are pawns of the conspirators. 6heir goal is too!struct your investigation and make sure the frame "o! sticks. ?or this

!ad !aggage. Any leftover tokens remain in the Hunter's possession. As # said!efore, happy endings are hard to come !y these days. You can use the Scene

of the Cri#eaction or intentionally trigger traps to avoid this effect.

"rauma:Hunters do not gain trauma.Any effect that would cause a *unter togain trauma causes the *unter to discard up to 0 irt tokens instead.

1vent Card 'odificationsCse the following general rules when dealing with &vents:

Any &vent or murder$specific rule that creates a !lanket positivenegative

effect for all investigators *etra time to enter locations, etc.+: 6his

applies to the Hunter unless it references something the Hunter can't do

*play light cards, gain favors, etc.+.

Any &vent that re(uires the investigator to spend time, etc. topreventa

negative result *e.g. @%oise is cooking up something nasty+ is ignored !ythe Hunter. Additionally, if resolving the &vent would neither help nor

hinder the player to any degree *e.g. an &vent that removes a warrant when

there are none in play+, it is ignored !y the Hunter.

Apply the following modifications to these specific &vent cards:

@)immy the nitch is willing to talk. 6his event costs you 2 time in

addition to a society favor. #t costs the Hunter 2 time.

@1hairman Hiro4irector Haas is touring the facilities. 6he Hunter will

attempt to move toward this event and spend 2 time to remove the 1hairman

Hiro4irector Haas token from the location.

@)inteki is involved in some form of cover$up- 6he Hunter will spend 2 time

there in order to force you to discard one of the listed tokens.

@You can't "ust !arge in wherever you please- 6his event is ignored !y the

Hunter unless the player has at least one warrant in play, in which case it

is resolved as written.

@6anaka's testimony is vital to the case. After spending 2 time, the Hunter

will attempt to remove a surprise witness or ali!i token, if there is no

matching face$up per"ury token, from the player's innocent hunch. #f this is

not possi!le, the %1 is merely removed.

@Fr. 3i doesn't like !loodshed on his turf. 6his event is ignored if there

are no hits in play. =therwise, the Hunter will always attempt to remove a

hit from any suspect.

@ate says she wants to testify. 6he Hunter places an ali!i on your guilty

hunch, if there is no face$up per"ury token present.

@# stum!led onto something !ig, yeah- #f the Hunter resolves this event,

)immy the nitch is eliminated *!ut there is no other effect+.

@=liver, # need you to hide this for me. 6his may only !e used to discard

facedown evidence. #f the Hunter resolves it, there is no effect.

@4irector Haas said to take you for a ride. 6he Hunter moves you as noted in

the @Character-Specific Rules. 6his movementmaytrigger traps, even if it

is not your turn. 6he traps then take effect at the start of your net turn.

@)immy says he's got some real "uicy info for you. #f the player does not

have at least > of each favor type, the Hunter ignores this event. #f the

Special -unter 2ules:Hunter Daymond !egins the game with a dropship pass. Daymond

will use his dropship pass to move !etween %ew Angeles and the moon,

!ypassing the 8eanstalk, if there are no leads in his district and fewer than

E leads remain in %ew Angeles or the first time there is an active event onthe moon. 4epending on his current priority, he will either move directly to

the active event orto the lead that is farthest from his hero marker on the

moon.

8efore the game, decide which color plot *purple or green+ will !e considered

in play for Daymond during this game. Daymond's active plot never changes

after the game !egins. You might consider placing one of his unused light

cards of the appropriate coloe face$up near the !oard to remind you what you

chose.

Hunter Daymond's la!yrinthine mind might !e the only thing capa!le ofgrasping the true significance of the conspiracy, and he's using that

knowledge to shut you out of it. &very time Daymond follows a lead, in

addition to the normal effects, remove the top pu55le piece from the most

valua!le pile of pu55le pieces from the game. You do not gain any rewards for

this action.

&ven worse, Daymond gains one additional 4irt the first time he follows a

lead each day, and he maes out at >2 4irt tokens instead of the usual >0.

%ote that you will still draw from the 6ag deck if he has >0 or more 4irt at

the start of your turn, !ut Daymond will not physically tag you until he has

reached his maimum of 4irt tokens.

However, you can use Daymond's war memories against him. At the start of the

game, place Daymond's hero markers on the 1astle 1lu!, any location on the

moon that does not contain a lead *your choice+, and any nightlife location

in %ew Angeles that does not contain a lead *your choice+. 6he first time

Daymond enters a location with one of his hero markers on it, remove the hero

marker from play, and Daymond's turn immediately ends, and he discards up to

E 4irt tokens. Demem!er that when placing leads, you must follow the

preferred locations listed !elow, !reaking ties !y placing the lead as far

from your investigator as possi!le.

Grud#e deck:Daymond's ;rudge deck contains the following >2 cards: =ld ?lame K

@Ouit sticking your nose in our !usiness. @&verytime # come here, my

shoulder aches. @;ive us your wallet and no one gets hurt. @Fay!e "ust one

2achels 'oney:6his enters play and !ehaves eactly like it does in the normal

game.

Specific Card 1ffects: arsons is always considered to !e missing. Daymond is always

considered to have > or more ate favors.

Any ;rudge card that would cause Daymond's turn to end instead causes him to

lose E time. 6his effect is cumulative.

@You're too easily distracted, ?lint. You may turn over any > face$down

piece of evidence for free and discard it, if you wish.

@# think there was something in my drink. 3ook at the net 2 cards in

Daymond's ;rudge deck. #f either has theHauntedkeyword, you may immediately

play it for free. 4iscard any cards that do not get played this way.

physically tags you, if his hero marker is on top of your 6ag 4eck, remove it

from the game and draw and resolve the top Femory 1ard instead of a dark

card. Demove the Femory 1ard from the game afterwards. ?loyd may not

game.

Specific Card 1ffects:#f a light card allows Daymond to draw an additional piece

of the conspiracy, and the conspiracy has already !een shut down, draw and

discard a pu55le piece, gaining any !onuses printed on either side of it.

#f a light card allows Daymond to interrupt another player placing evidence,

you may use this whenever ?loyd follows a lead.

Any card from ?loyd's ;rudge deck that re(uires him to end his trun at Haas$

8ioroid or the %A4 is treated like an active event. lace one of your own

hero markers at !oth locations, and ?loyd moves toward the nearest location,

then spends 2 time at that location to remove !oth tokens from the !oard. He

may then continue his turn. #f either token remains in play at the end of

?loyd's turn, you may discard one of his tech cards as printed on the card.

Special -unter 2ules:Hunter 3ouis is a simple man, !ut he does know how to hold a

grudge. hen 3ouis is your Hunter, all of your dark cards costs > less 4irt

to play *in addition to any other effects that would reduce the cost of the

card+. 6his means he can play some of your dark cards for free, so you shouldalways draw a card when triggering a trap, even if 3ouis has 0 4irt tokens.

#n addition, some of his most powerful ;rudge cards can only !e played while

his %1 6anaka is alive. At the start of the game, place 6anaka's %1 token

at 6ony's ?lophouse. Hunter 3ouis will treat 6anaka like the most current

active event, i.e. it is always his first priority, ecept for the following:

After moving to 6anaka's location, 3ouis will spend > time *as opposed to the

usual 2+ to roll a die. =n a E$E seedy locations on the

!oard, plus the %A4.

locations 2+ Dit5y 3ocations /+ %ormal 3ocations E+ Destricted 3ocations.

3ouis does not distinguish !etween Fa"or 3ocations and otherwise.

Go For a 2ide:#f given the chance to move you, 3ouis will always move you to

6he =ld ar Femorial, unless you are already in the green district. #n that

case, he moves you to the 1astle 1lu!.

Floyds "hree $irectives:6hese enter play and !ehave eactly like they do in the

normal game.

Specific Card 1ffects: Any card that would allow 3ouis to draw one of your dark

cards lets 3ouis gain > 4irt token for each card he would have drawn.

#f you draw a ;rudge card that re(uires 6anaka to !e alive, and he has !een

eliminated, you must spend the full cost of that card in ;rudge tokens, !ut

the card is discarded with no effect.

6he Hunter will always choose to have ?loyd gainlose the conditional !aggage

that would !e most damaging to his current plot.

6he !ad outcome of the @?inding Himself plot should have you discard down to

E light cards and 9 ;rudge tokens. imilarly, if your maimum hand si5e is

decreased, it is decreased to E light cards and 9 ;rudge tokens. #f your hand

si5e is increased, it is increased to < light cards and >2 ;rudge tokens.

@%o, #'m afraid )im isn't coming. 6reat this as an active event, ecept

remains 3ouis's highest priority until resolved and he will move toward it nomatter what his current location is.

@You were supposed to call last night, 3ouis. lace ara's %1 token in the

location indicated. 6reat it as an active event. Cnlike the a!ove card, 3ouis

will only pursue this event if he is in the event's district or an ad"acent

district.

@You're a loose cannon, 8laine- 6he net lead that 3ouis follows gains him

no 4irt tokens, !ut still moves.

@ara was always the smart one. #dentical to the a!ove.

@8e more careful, 8laine. 6he net time a lead moves *even if 3ouis's turn

hasn't !egun yet+, you move the lead, placing it according to the guidelines

in the original rule!ook.

@here were you, ?loydL #f you have a dropship token, you are forced to

discard it. =therwise, the card is discarded with no effect *no 4irt tokens

paid, no !ad !aggage gained+ and a new card is drawn to replace it.

@?loyd, (uit wasting time already- #f ?ather Fichael has !een eliminated,

this card is discarded with no effect, !ut a replacement card is not drawn.

@?or a !ioroid, you can !e pretty stupid. You must completely dark shift and

discard 2 ;rudge tokens, if a!le.

@ir, assaulting an officer is a crime. hen handling the dark tactic of

this card, first check if any favors are worth due to the current state of

the conspiracy or chosen murder. #f so, discard the most valuea!le favor of

which you have the fewest tokens. =therwise, simply lose the favor you have

the least of. #n case of a tie, roll the die to decide.
