What Is Bakugan?

Don’t be surprised if your pre-teen son or daughter asks you one day for a Bakugan game. You may not know exactly what Bakugan is, but a growing number of children consider the game a must-have form of entertainment.

Based on a Japanese anime TV show, Bakugan is a strategy game involving cards and marble-like spheres. Basically, young players first throw down playing cards. They then toss a sphere on top of these cards. This act causes the spheres to pop open, releasing the Bakugan characters hidden inside.

While the game may not make much sense to parents, it has become extremely popular among children, especially for those who are fans of the animated cartoon. Think of it as a latter version of a Pokemon trading card game.

The good news is that children can start playing the game without having to first purchase much equipment. All that’s needed are Bakugan cards and spheres. Children can get started in the game by simply purchasing a starter pack that contains three Bakugan spheres and three character cards.

The bad news, though, is that the game can be addicting. And fans of it will undoubtedly develop an appetite for acquiring new Bakugan spheres and card packs. In addition to the starter kit, fans of the game can purchase battle packs and booster packs.

They can also purchase the Bakugan arena and launcher sets. These, though, are not necessary to play the game.

Adults, of course, don’t have to understand the game to purchase it for their children. However, Bakugan is fairly simple to understand and learn. Players start the game by laying their cards out on a flat surface. They then roll their Bakugan spheres across the cards, which are made of metal.

If the sphere lands on the right card, it will stop and pop open, revealing a Bakugan character. If opponents’ spheres land on the same card, the characters inside these spheres engage in a simulated battle. The winner of these battles, determined by point values, wins the card in question.

Bakugan is a fun, harmless strategy game for children. Adults who watch the game may not ever know exactly what is happening. But they should expect one thing: The Bakugan trend will be around for many years.
