Bakugan toys are a unique and revolutionary spin on the game of playing marbles. It is quite creative and superficially complex to play. However, many children are love to play and its fun to say - (bak u gon) bakugan.

No Really, what IS a backugan?

Action figures morphed from small plastic marbles, called bakugan balls, that are based on a tv show, each figure comes with a metallic card that has a point value. A point value is also imprinted on the figure. A magnetic lock in the toy is triggered to open when the figure is placed onto a metallic game card.

Bakugan toys are small spheres that magnetically morph into powerful Bakugan warriors when they roll onto the real metal gate cards that provide challenge and fun for all ages.

Bakugan was started by the Cartoon Network anime tv series Bakugan Battle Brawlers..Bakugan toys is a strategic game that pits a variety of Bakugan warriors against each other for points. With this Bakugan Battle Pack, kids aged 4 and above will get a kick out of earning points by rolling their Bakugan onto magnetic metal cards where the spheres burst open to become the fearsome warrior apparatus inside -- such as "Juggernoids," "Fear rippers," and "Robatallians".

Kids love watching the Bakugan transform suddenly into warrior mode, and fans of the show will have an especially good time with the game.

Ready, Set, Play!

Your mission of the Bakugan toys game is to battle against other Bakugan to win points set on the cards by getting your Bakugan to land on that card. My kids love pretending to be one of the various characters in the show. There's the fiery 12-year-old leader "Dan" or the wise "Marucho," .The more you play the more you gain a deeper understanding of the cards and warriors.

Newbies should get the Bakugan Battle Pack because it includes instructions, so they can get started playing this fun and exciting game.

The game itself is pretty straightforward. But if you have never played before, you should read and understand the rules. Some of the plastic Bakugan warruirs are small and get lost easily. There are also others, like the Bakugan Deka, as big as a softball.

If you are already a Bakugan fan, the Battle Pack is a good investment. This set comes with six randomly selected Bakugan and eight magnetic cards. Your will love how this set dramatically increases your collection of Bakugan! You can also use the Battle Pack to share with friends who might not have any Bakugan of their own.

Exciting Colors and Magnetic Action

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 to carry around. 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. Mixed reviews on the Launcher. Many people don't like it as it does not appear to work very well.

Room for the Imagination

This game combines skill for aiming your Bakugan with strategy for card placement. Kids and adults like the way the warriors pop open on the magnetic cards. Sometimes they do it even when they don't land on the cards.

If you are not familiar with the TV show, you may feel a little lost at first in the world of Bakugan toys. But with the help of the colorful, animated Bakugan Web site, you can get the gist of what the game is about and how to play.

The launcher isn't necessary. You can simply roll the Bakugan like marbles for a fun and action-packed game with others. Several kids and parents stated they attempted to fire the launcher and it proved difficult and instructions would have helped.
