Bakugan Game Rules - The Basics

<<< Back to ‘Bakugan Game Rules’

In order to battle at the basic level, each player needs:

• A Bakugan Gate Card 

There are 4 types of gate card, to understand gate cards click here.

 

 

• A Bakugan Battle Brawler  

The Battle Brawlers each have different G-Power ratings and attributes which give a G-Power Boost in battle, to understand battle brawlers click here.  

 

How to battle (basic steps):

1. Lay cards face down on a flat surface.
2. When 2 brawlers stand on a gate card, battle takes place.
3. The player with the highest total G-Power is the winner (see ’A' below).
4. The battling stops when all cards have been captured.

A.  TOTAL G-POWER = G-POWER RATING + G-POWER BOOST

Things you must consider before beginning a battle:

• The Bakugan Battle Brawlers will only “stand” when they are sitting on a Bakugan Gate Card .
• You must shoot your Bakugan Battle Brawlers from a minimum of 2 card lengths away.
• The youngest player shoots first.
• The winner of a battle goes first in the next round.
• If you stand 2 brawlers on a card you automatically capture that card.
• If after a battle the total G-Power is a tie, ’sudden fury’ ensues. This is similar to sudden death in a football penalty shootout, the first player to stand their brawler on the card with the other player failing to wins the battle. If you both stand on the card or both miss, shoot again!

Now you understand the basic rules, you can begin battling.

If you wish to carry out an arena battle, it is recommended that you continue reading the Bakugan Game Rules through to the finish and practice shooting Bakugans!

Bakugan Game Rules - Understanding Battle Brawlers

<<< Back to ‘Bakugan Game Rules - The Basics’

Your Bakugan Battle Brawlers can help you win other brawlers and increase your collection. However, they can just as easily be lost in battle. This is why it is important to fully understand the brawlers to help you make the right decisions when preparing for battle… 

• G-Power Rating

The G-Power rating of your Bakugan Battle Brawler goes a considerable way to winning a battle. The higher this value, the better, and the more chance you have of capturing other Bakugans and improving your collection. The G-Power rating is shown somewhere on the inside of the Bakugan. Remember, the Brawler has to stand on the gate card for you to view the G-Power rating.

The G-Power rating on the above brawler is 350G, this when added to the G-Power boost which is explained below helps form the your battle brawler’s total G-Power which decides whether you win or lose.

• G-Power Boosts

Which G-Power boost applies to your battle brawler depends on the attribute logo on the brawler itself. This is usually on the outside of the brawler and can easily be identified, as shown below.

This attribute logo will then match one of the six G-Power boost logos on the gate card that you have stood on in a battle (2 or more Bakugan Battle Brawlers standing on one gate card). The number that is shown on top of that logo is the boost that is added to the original G-Power rating shown above. This number can be positive or negative so it can strengthen or weaken your chances of success.

Each attribute has meanings and their own strengths and weaknesses… to find out more about Bakugan attributes, click here.
