If your group prefers tactical play or structured player turns, you can limit the number of action tokens each PC can use on the action tracker at a time. It is recommended to start with 3, but you may decrease or increase the number as your table prefers.

When the action tracker is in use, every player places that number of action tokens on their character sheet, ready for use. Players then act as usual, and each time they make an action roll, they spend one available action token by moving it to the table’s action tracker. Collaborate with other players on passing play around the table, making moves and telling the story together; even if you have multiple action tokens, see if any other players want a turn before you spend more than one in a row.

Once every player has used their available tokens, players refill their character sheet with the same number of tokens as before, then continue playing.

The GM makes moves as usual (see ”Making Moves” and “Using the Action Tracker” in chapter 3). When the GM uses an action token, they give it back to the player it came from, but the player doesn’t place that token on their character sheet until it’s time for the table to replenish their tokens.
