How to learn Bakugan?

by admin on July 29, 2010

My son just got two starter packs for his birthday.How do we play? We each have gate cards, ability cards and three Bakugan each. After we get the Bakugan on the same gate card and they open, what do we do? I need more specific instructions that what is printed in the directions. Thanks!
I have looked at the website and currently the demo is not working so I can’t see how it’s played.
Are you supposed to use the ability cards each time? Otherwise it just seems like the one who has the most G power is winning- not very exciting. What am I missing?

You must be such a good mother for actually bothering to play these kind of games with your son.

BAKUGAN® RULES
This is a 2 player game. Each player has a team of 3 Bakugan and each is trying to be the first to capture 3 Gate cards.
SET UP
Each player needs 3 Bakugan, 3 Gate cards: one of each color, and 3 Ability cards: one of each color. (The Gate cards are heavier than the others and make the Bakugan open.) Players should sit about 2-1/2 feet from each other. The play area should be a smooth, flat surface. The space between the two players is called the Field. When ready, each player says, “Field — Open!” Players should hold their unused cards in their hands (or leave them face down), so that their opponent cannot see the face side. Their unused Bakugan should be closed (marble-like). Each player has a used pile on their left; this is where played Ability cards, Gate cards won, and used Bakugan go. PLAY! Each player places one of their Gate cards face down (i.e., Bakugan logo is face up) in front of their opponent, so that they barely touch each other at the top, while saying, “Gate Card — Set!” Note: Setting Gate cards occurs at the start of any turn where there are no Gate cards in the field. The youngest player goes first. Players then take turns. The player whose turn it is chooses a Bakugan and says, “Bakugan Brawl!” To begin, a player rolls one of his unused Bakugan at the Gate cards in the field OR he can play an Ability card before rolling. (Each Ability card indicates when it can be played – before, during or after a battle.)
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A
PLAYER ROLLS?
If a player rolls a Bakugan and misses, the Bakugan goes into the player’s used pile. If the Bakugan opens on a Gate card and there’s no other Bakugan on that Gate card, it is now the other player’s turn. If the Bakugan opens on a Gate card and the other player has a Bakugan on that Gate card, Battle ensues — see ‘Battle!” If the Bakugan opens on a Gate card and this player already has a Bakugan on this card, one of two things happen:
• If there’s no other Gate card in play or this player already has a Bakugan on the other Gate card, this player wins that Gate card uncontested, placing it and his two Bakugan in his used pile. It then becomes the other player’s turn.
• Otherwise this Bakugan is moved to the other Gate card. If that Gate card doesn’t have an opponent’s Bakugan, it is the other player’s turn. But if it does, Battle ensues — see ‘Battle!” BATTLE! Battle is one Bakugan vs. one Bakugan and happens whenever Bakugan from two different players end up on the same Gate card. Detach the two Bakugan from the Gate card and read each Bakugan’s G-Power.
Gate Reveal: Flip the Gate card over and do what it says.
Ability Cards: Play Ability cards (if desired) – first, by the player whose turn it is. Each Ability card says when it can be played. Tell your opponent that you are playing the card, do what the card says and then put the card in your used pile.
Gate Card G-Power Boost: After both players are finished playing Ability cards, simply match the color of a Bakugan to the color symbol on the Gate card and add that number to the Bakugan’s G-Power. The battle is won by the Bakugan that now has the higher G-Power. The player who wins the battle puts the Gate card in their used pile. Return each Bakugan to its owners’ used pile. In the event of a tie: The battle is won by the first Bakugan that stood on the Gate card.
Is this good enough?

"The battle is won by the Bakugan that now has the higher G-Power."
Is not always true.

The Copper Command Gate Cards have instructions on them that will sometimes tell you that the Bakugan with the lowest G-Power wins.
