Q-Zar - Game Types

Game Types

In the standard game of Q-ZAR, called Energize, the player is given a certain number of lives. Once a player runs out of lives, they may gain a new set by going to one of their team's Energizers, but lose individual score points doing so. Eliminator is similar to Energize, except players only have the lives they start with. Once a player runs out of lives, he or she is eliminated from the game, eliminator require reloading after every life lost. Supercharge is a variant of Energize usually played by experienced players. In it, players must tag five opponents before they are able to de-activate their opponent's headquarters. Stun is used for beginning players; it is the same as Energize except players have infinite lives (technically players have infinite lives in Energize, but in Energize, they do not get them all at once). Battlefield is another variation where mines (which are unused packs) are placed around the arena as obstacles. A gauntlet game is played by one person. Their goal is to de-activate both energizers as much as they can.

Many combinations of game types, game options and arena lighting and positioning can create themed games.
