Can anyone tell me what in the world a Bakugan Battle Brawler is?
I have been browsing all the stores to see what it is, but everyone is sold out.
Any parents out there with information on this, please post!

I had no idea what this was. I’ve seen the word Bakugan around and even saw my nephews playing with them over Christmas, but didn’t catch the name at that time.
Now it makes so much sense. Thank you for sharing Bakugan Trader. I checked out your website and it looks like a cool niche thing you’ve got going on there.
When I was watching my nephews play it was fairly clear they really had no idea what they were doing. Hopefully they have figured it out by now, but the next time I see them at least I will be up on the rules.
Thanks for the info. I am curious though if there is a lot of strategy or is it primarily luck based?

Learn How To Play Bakugan Now! Its Easy! Here you will find the basic information you need so that you and your kids can enjoy Bakugan.
Before you Battle:
Two to four players can play at one time. Before you begin each player must select a deck of a minimum of three Bakugan Brawlers and three cards to use in the game. You are not limited to using three but each play must have the same number of cards and brawlers.
Bakugan Battle Brawlers:
Each players brawlers should closed up into a ball this is called Sphere Mode. When it is rolled onto the metal card if it hits the card at the right spot it will pop open into Battle Mode. When the Battle Brawler is in battle mode you will see it’s G-Power. If an opponents battle brawler lands on the card that your brawler is sitting on they go into battle and the battle brawler with the higher G-Power rating wins the battle. The G-power boost on the card that your brawler lands on will determine if you your brawler G-power will decrease or increase in that battle.
Bakugan Cards
Each card should be facing down so that no player knows the ability of the card they are using. There are four types of cards and they are Normal Cards, Character Cards, Command Cards and Ability Cards. All the cards are metal accept for the ability cards. The metal cards are the ones that are placed in the battle field and are the only cards that can make a Bakugan Battle Brawler pop open for battle.
Each metal card has a G-power boost rating on it. When a card is in battle there may be a command on the bottom of the card that effects the battle. This G-power boost is on the left side of the card. The boost will be determined by the color of your brawler that lands on the card.
Each card has a HSO on the lower right of the card. This is the Holo Sector Point which represents the number of points you win if you capture this card.
Bakugan Battle Area
If you do not have a battle arena its ok. The game begins with each player placing a card face down on the battle field on the side closest to their opponent. If there are only two players in the game then each player needs to put a second card down to form the battle field. So basically if there are two players before you can roll a Bakugan Brawler onto the field you will have four cards on the field forming a rectangle.
Shot Spot
Before you can begin battle each player must take the remaining cards they have in hand and measure the distance from their opponents card that they placed nearest you. This becomes your shooting spot for the the rest of the game.
Bakugan Battle Brawling Time!
Each player takes turns from their shooting spot and no player can skip a turn shooting if they have any Bakugan Brawlers in their hand. Youngest player shoots their ball first.
Winning The Game
The battle is over once there are no more Bakugan left over to play or all the cards have been won from the battle field. The winner is determined by the adding up the HSP points of each card that the player has won.
Players that have won Bakugan from their opponent get an extra 100 HSP points to add to their score along with 100 HSP points from the Bakugan they still have left standing.
My sons and I love Bakugan. They are 11, 3 and I am 32! For more information on how to play bakugan or to find those hard to find Bakugan Battle Bralwers visit www.Bakugantrader.com
