Get into Monster Jam Action with the Top 10 Best Monster Truck Toys 2024
Trading cards have been around for many decades, and many kids don’t outgrow their love for trading cards, so they continue to collect and play even when they are adults. In fact, if you scour the internet, you’ll find thousands of communities, exhibitions, and bigger-than-life competitions dedicated to trading cards.
However, for those who seek a more thrilling and innovative gameplay than just playing the usual style of trumping out the other player’s cards, there’s a trading card game you may want to try out. Enter the BAKUGAN!
What Is Bakugan?
Belonging to the genre of trading card games or TCG, Bakugan is based on the popular anime entitled Bakugan Battle Brawlers. Yet, unlike your average TCG, Bakugan involves the use of robot-like animal toys aside from the trading cards. Plastic balls will pop open and transform into toy robot creatures. It’s like Pokemon + Transformers + Trading Cards all in one game! Get the idea?
How to Play Bakugan
When playing the Bakugan game, participants lay down their cards in turns matching up each other’s cards just like in Dominoes. Then each player will take turns in shooting their Bakugan into the cards. They will attempt to make their Bakugan drop, roll, and transform on the card with the higher “G Power.” The one who gets the higher values wins, plus he or she takes the card where the Bakugan is on. The game continues until there are no more cards to play.
As a result, Bakugan’s gameplay is excitingly different from your usual trading card games!
OK, enough of the overview! So for those who are into the Bakugan craze or would like to start joining the Bakugan bandwagon, we give you a list of the top highly searched Bakugan toys on the market this year.
