Instructions for Bakugan Balls

Arrange the game board so players are situated directly across from each other.

Separate the gate cards from the ability cards. Situate them face down in front of each player. Place the Bakugan balls in the game board divots in front of each player.

Place one gate card face down in the center of the game board. Each card should be placed closest to the player on the opposite side of the board.

Select the youngest player to start the game. Roll one Bakugan Ball towards the center of the game board. If the roll misses the cards, the player removes it from the game board and places it in his used Bakugan pile. If the roll lands on a card, the Bakugan ball will transform into a battling robot action figure. The remaining players take turns rolling until another Bakugan ball lands on a gate card and transforms into a robot.

Locate the G-power number on the inside of each transformed Bakugan. Turn over the gate card that triggered the transformation. Find the attribute number associated with each Bakugan. Add the G and attribute numbers together. The player with the highest total wins that battle unless otherwise noted on the gate card. Place the winning Bakugan and gate card in the winning players used pile. The first player to accumulate three gate cards wins the game.

Play the ability cards strategically to help win the battles. Each ability card has a specific set of rules to alter the point total of each battle.
