Q&A for How to Play Bakugan

Yes. You can use a single Bakugan up to five times, by that time someone will have won.

If two of your bakugan land on the same gate card, you win that card. It is called doubling down.

Yes, as long as you have three separate capsules, they can be the same Bakugan.

No, the regular match requires you to have three Bakugan to play. There are other match types not gone over in these rules that may require more Bakugan.

During any game of Bakugan, ability cards are usually played during a battle after the gate card is opened. However, there are some ability cards that reference "before you roll do 'X'," or "play after you have won with a Pyrus Bakugan." It really depends on what the ability card says, and reading the card explains the card. In most cases, it's only during a battle, but they will say when to use it if it's not for battle.

It depends, if the person playing with you agrees not to use Ability Cards (not recommended) then you don't have to use those, but Gate Cards are a must to play the game.

The rules say you can use both a trap and a gear in the same match. You can use them in the same battle, but afterward you won't be able to use them again if you don't have an ability card that lets you use them again.

Continue rolling Bakugan until either yours or an opponent's lands on a card with an opposing Bakugan.

A gate card has six attributes that give each Bakugan of the corresponding color a bonus (or takes away G-Power if they're the old gate cards). When a G-Power bonus on a gate card is highlighted, that means the bonus is doubled. The reason there are highlighted G-Power bonuses on gate cards is because some ability and reference cards refer to a highlighted bonus on a gate card, like cancelling or benefiting from it.

If the scores are tied, the player whose Bakugan landed on the gate card first gets to take the card for his/her hand.

It is on the left side of the card. You take the G-power bonus based on your Bakugan's color.

After the Gate Card is opened, both players activate an Ability Card. These cards give an increase (marked on said card) to the user's Bakugan. Nearly all Ability Cards also have a little note with extra instructions. For example, the Hurricane of Fire Ability Card. This card allows the user to send in either a Fire-attributed or Wind-attributed (Pyrus and Ventus, respectively) at a Gate Card with only an opponent's Bakugan on it.

It will normally say on the Bakugan somewhere, but sometimes it doesn’t. If it doesn’t, try to find out the Bakugan's name and then search it on a Bakugan wiki.

You can use them to change your Bakugan's attribute. The attributes you can change to are located inside of the trap. Also, the trap's attribute has to match the Bakugan's original attribute.

You cannot play Bakugan without gate cards, or it will just be throwing capsules.

The fists mean you can use that certain power up on that card to boost your character.

No, ability cards can only be used once, unless it is said otherwise on the card.

You can find them online.

No, they do not.

No, not in the regular game, but other versions in video games and HSP rules have weaknesses. In the anime, the attributes (in order of better, weaker) are Pyrus, to Subterra, to Haos, to Darkus, to Aquos, to Ventus, and back to Pyrus.

Yes, there are multiple ways to play Bakugan, such as "no gate cards" or "one Bakugan."

The G-Power may be affected by ability and gate cards. It is found on the inside of a Bakugan in white or black writing.

That's for the new generation of Bakugan, where the rules are completely different.

First of all , it is called G-power. Usually, Bakugan have maximum 1000 G- Power. Special Bakugan can also have higher g-power than 1000 but they usually have more complicated rules.

You and your opponent take the Bakugan from the used pile and continue the game.

Yes it is called big game. You must use 6 Bakugan and 6 ability cards (2 of each color) and 6 gate cards (2 of each color ). The rules do not change.

It is a different generation. Now the new wave is called Armored Alliance and all the bakugans have B power instead of G power.

Not necessarily, you can get a game board and put it on there but you don't have to.

Send another Bakugan Into the gatecard. Also, you can add a another Bakugan G to your previous Bakugan.

When your opponent Bakugan is knocked out, then the gate card closes.
