Bakugan may seem quite difficult to play and there are some neat tips to learn - but the basics of the game are quite easy.
Here’s how to play Bakugan brawlers…
Marbles And Cards
There are two elements to the game. The battle brawlers themselves, and playing cards. The brawlers are small marbles that automatically pop open to reveal the Bakugan inside and it’s G-Power. Cards you play can increase your G-Power or decrease the G-Power of your opponent. The highest power wins the battle.
Setting Up a Bakugan Game
Each player needs 3 battle brawlers, 3 Gate cards and 3 Ability cards (if you buy bakugan starter packs you get everything you need). Choosing which ones to use is important, and can make the difference between winning and losing. The aim is to win Gate cards.
Players sit about a metre apart from one another on a smooth flat surface. This area is now the playing ‘Field’.
All Bakugan brawlers start closed (Sphere Mode) and battle cards are kept face down.
Once ready, the players say “Field - Open”.
The Game Begins
Each players puts down a Gate card and says “Gate Card - Set”. Then each player goes in turn, the youngest one first, choosing and rolling a Bakugan towards the Gate cards on the field.
After Rolling
If the Bakugan hits a Gate card it pops open automatically. If no other Bakugan are on that the Gate card, the other player has their turn. If the other player already has a Bakugan on that card, a Battle starts.
Let Battle Begin
Firstly read each Bakugans G-Power rating. Then turn over the Gate card and do what it tells you.
Then players can use an Ability card, if they wish. This may help boost your power or decrease your opponents. The cards tell you what to do and when you can use them. After use, they go in your used pile.
Now you add any G-Power boost from the Gate card, just by matching the colour of your Bakugan to the symbol on the card.
The player who now has the highest G-Power wins this battle, and puts this Gate card in their used pile. All Gate cards have an HSP number written on them (Holo Sector Points) - this is how many points you get for the battle.
Winning The Battle
The game is over when all cards or Bakugans are gone. Your remaining Bakugan and any captured ones are worth 100 points. You add this to the points on the Gate cards you won. The player with the highest HSP wins. Don’t worry, captured Bakugan are given back. Unless you played for keeps! If you need more here’s where you can find bakugan.
