Before the game begins, the player must scan his or her cards; five Ranger cards, a Robo card (which can only be activated after two rounds have passed), and either a team attack card or an Extra Ranger card (both of which will activate only after a certain amount of rounds have passed). Next, the player chooses between three types of battles; a battle against a horde of Foot Soldiers (between the Bibi, Gormin, Buglers, Zorima, or Kuros), a villain leading a team of four Foot Soldiers or Ranger Key Clones (between Wolzard, Rio, Mele, Gedou Shinken Red, Dark Gosei Knight, Brajira, Basco, Enter, Dogold, or General Schwarz), or in a "Ranger Battle", against a team of Rangers (such as the Livemen or a team of all Black Rangers). "Ranger Battles" can also be fought with two players.
