Bakugan are the hotest toy craze among the 6-12 year olds since pokemon! Everyone seems to buy bakugan now a days. Think of Pokemon wearing a laser jetpacks, missle launchers, and they transform into other toys. Now are you starting to get a picture of how this appeals to young children?

The main attraction behind it is the Bakugan Battle Brawlers game, which contains little hand sized plastic balls (called Bakugan) which pop open to transform into small fighting creatures when they land onto special spots on the Bakugan Cards. There is a magnet clasp inside each ball that allows it to pop open into it’s creature form when it’s placed on a metal surface (such as hidden inside the Bakugan Cards).

In a game each player puts down their cards out. Which is done in turns with the rule that they must have one full edge touching another card. Then the players take turns shooting their Bakugan onto the cards, while they are hoping to hit the best card in play with their bakugan. When one Bakugan from each player stands open on a card, they “do battle” by comparing the “G Power” values shown on each Bakugan adjusted by different values listed on the back of the card for each different possible color Bakugan. (think Pokemon). The winner of the battle takes the card and both Bakugan and play continues until there are no more cards.

Thats the just of it. I have been watching my nephews play this on and off.. It really isnt that complicated and very easy to follow. As a adult you should be able to pick up on the understanding of the game very easy and quick. Without having to struggle that much. Playing with your children will be very entertaining because you never know whats going to land and come out! Dont forget to buy bakugan for your children!

Ive been seeing alot of people buy bakugan.  That is of lately.  It seems that every time I look around I see more and more children playing this game.  The series of the toys have seem to start inclining over the years. To me Bakugan is a mix of Dominoes and playing marbles.  That is just my thoughts on that.  Its some of the rules here and there match those of the two previous games I have mentioned. 

This is a very rewarding game for your children to play.  It helps your children use their heads more and figure out better tactics than the other opponents making them more adverse in problem solving than the average child.  Just keep in mind any toy/game that has alot of problem solving in it will usuaslly help your child in the long run.  Starting with school to real life situations!
