The Bakugan Battle Pack includes a random selection of six Bakugan warriors. It also includes eight metal cards and instructions. It does not include the optional Bakugan Launcher. The mission of Bakugan game play is to battle against other Bakugan to win the points awarded on the cards by getting your Bakugan to land on card. Players will love pretending to be one of the various characters in the show, such as the fiery 12-year-old leader "Dan" or the wise "Marucho," and they gain a deeper understanding of the cards and warriors as they play.
The Bakugan come in lots of colors and varieties that make them fun to collect and trade. Most of them are pocket-sized and easy for your child to carry around and bring over to their friend's houses. Having a magnet that activates the warriors is a clever idea that adds excitement to the game. The Bakugan Launcher (sold separately) is a great accessory, with three shooting modes ("curve," "angle, and "distance"), but it doesn't come with any instructions.
The game can also be played with up to four people. The rules remain
the same as a regular game. Bakugan may also be played in Big game style where
players use six Gate Cards, six Ability Cards and six Bakugan, instead
of three of each as in a normal game. Instead of capturing six Gate
Cards, a player must capture three to win the game.
The game has spawned numerous accessories, such as carry clips to store
three Bakugan marbles at a time, launchers to fire the marbles at the
game arena, soft plastic and hard plastic play area mats and special
gauntlets (based on the ones used in the second season).
