Learn Why Bakugan Have Become So Popular

By Anton Enriquez

Bakugan toys are increasing everyday in popularity among kids. These toys come from the same popular Japanese animated TV series called "Bakugan Battle Brawlers", which is about a group of kids that are battling their monsters in a card game that will decide the fate of the universe.

Bakugan was created by the combined efforts of Sega Games and Spin Master, and follow the concept of the cartoon very closely. The cards from the game have the cartoon characters displayed on them just like the toys, which are rolled over the gate cards on the field and will pop open to reveal the battle brawler.

Similar to games such as Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon, it is also a collectible card game that brings back the concept of marbles. Each player takes turns attempting to stand one of their spheres onto the magnetic gate cards. While the cards are fun to collect and trade, it is the collectible, marble like transforming monsters that kids love. There are various kinds of spheres to collect, and even more soon to be released with the games growing popularity.

The instructions are simple to get, and very easy to understand for any kid that has ever seen the animated series. The players will alternate laying down their gate cards on the field, and then roll one of their bakugan battle brawlers onto the field across the cards to get it to stand on them. If they don't land on a card it is the other players turn. When a player lands two of his brawlers on the same card, then the card is taken into that player's possession. When both players land one of their battle brawlers on the same gate card then the two player have to battle for the card. The gate card they are both on is then turned over, and add up the G points to each brawler to decide who wins the battle. The winner captures the card. The player that captures three cards first wins.

The game is very simple, and extremely fun too. Other rule variations can be used also. Other items can be purchased as well to get the most out of the Bakugan games experience, such as the battle brawler shooters and the battle arena. The battle arena comes with some rules that are a little bit different, but any rule variations added to the game are okay as long as both players agree on them.
