Bakugan Toys
Bakugan toys are the current must haves, as you probably have already found out from your children. It is a very clever strategy game. Kids enjoy collecting the action figures and cards as well as the game play – which make for long-lasting entertainment.
There are many different “warriors” to collect. They come in a variety of colors, sizes and characters (these are the Bakugan balls that morph into the warriors). Additionally, there are magnetic cards called Bakugan Ability cards and Gate cards. These are essential to the game as these are the cards that cause the balls to physically transform but are also used to determine the winners of battles.
The balls and the cards are all you need to get started. Of course, there are also a lot of other accessories such as game boards, launchers, and traps that Bakugan Masters will collect, but are not necessary for beginners to start playing.
There are starter kits available that are the perfect way to get your kids ready to play with others. In order to play a game, players must start out with 3 cards each. The starter kits come with 3 gate cards, 3 ability cards, and 3 Bakugans.
Brief Description of the Bakugan Game
The Bakugan game originated with the Japan cartoon series called Bakugan Battle Brawlers. It originally aired in Japan in the beginning of 2007, then in Canada in July 2007. In February 2008 Cartoon Network began airing the series and sparked a firestorm in the US!
The game constists of Bakugan action figures and Bakugan game cards. The action figures are rolled into balls, and placed on a magnetic card – which causes the action figure to pop out. The cards are part of the strategy of the game.
The great thing about Bakugan is that it is a strategy card-trading game along with action figures. There is a lot of strategy and planning that goes into winning and collecting these items. The game is basically a point system, with the Bakugan figures having point values as well as the magnetic cards. You roll your Bakugan ball across a table of magetic cards, you want your Bakugan to morph on the card with the most points.
Parents love Bakugan for several reasons. First of all, the cards the balls are relatively inexpensive. They can be bought used online for large discounts. Secondly, there is a lot of math that goes into each game (adding and subtracting point values to determine the winners of each round). Another reason parents love this game is because it is somewhat reminiscent of marbles since you are flicking the Bakugan ball and trying to have it land in specific places.
