Bakugan Booster Packs
How Bakugan is played
2-4 players can engage in battle with the Bakugan trading card game. You will need to start with some Bakugan Booster Packs, and you will also have to get some Bakugan marbles (miniatures).
Play begins by placing a Bakugan Starter Pack Red or Bakugan Starter Pack Blue card face down in front of one of your opponents, and your opponents also place one of their cards in front of another player.
Starting with the youngest player trying to shoot one of their marbles(bakugan), and make it land on a card, which in turn will cause the marble to open up into the Bakugan miniature character, ready for battle. Play continues clockwise until 2 Bakugan are open on the same card. If both of the Bakugan are one players, then that player gets to take the card and the Bakugan. If the 2 Bakugan are owned by different players, the card is turned over and the battle process begins.
There are many different types of cards, which make Bakugan a Trading Card Game, and introduces the hobby and collection aspect. Bakugan is similar to other trading card games along the lines of having Rare cards, Bakugan Booster Packs, Bakugan starter pack red and Bakugan starter pack blue.
The Normal cards have sector bubbles along the edge of the card which signifies how many g-points your Bakugan gains or loses, depending on their attributes.
The Character cards have a name of a Bakugan at the top, if the Bakugan marble that lands on the card has the same name as the card, then that Bakugan gets their g-points doubled.
The Command cards have instructions along the bottom of the card, which will have various tasks that the player who lands on it will have to do.
The object of the game is to have more g- points than your opponent when the battle ends, letting the winner take the card and the 2 Bakugan.
A Sample Round of the Bakugan Card Game
Suppose I have a pyros (red) bakugan which has 300 g-points and the player I am battling has a haos (silver- white) bakugan which has 350 g-points and we have landed on the same card.
The card is flipped over and looking along the left edge of the card where the sector bubbles are located, we look for the red bubble and white bubble. In those bubbles we will find numbers such as -50, or 100. This indicates whether we get points or must take points away.
In the red bubble we find a 100, so my red pyros bakugan which had 300-g points will now have 400-g points. Inside the white bubble we find -50, which will take the Haos white Bakugan from 350 g-points to 300 g-points.
The red Bakugan will win the battle with 400 g-points versus the white Bakugans 300 g-points. I would win the battle and get the card and the other players White Bakugan marble and my Red Bakugan Marble.
Gameplay continues until all players run out of Bakugan except one, who is crowned the winner.
Gameplay is fun and easy for players from ages 4 on up. Bakugan Booster packs can be found right here in many variations including Bakugan Starter Pack Blue, and Bakugan Starter Pack Red.
