Since the anime series debuted, the Bakugan game has taken on a life of its own. The series, Bakugan Battle battlers, and the game were developed and released in conjunction by Sega Toys and Spin Master. The game uses metal cards and magnetic spring-loaded miniature figures, called Bakugan--small creatures set into conflict by the battle battlers who wield them.

the tale is about Dan Kuso and his five friends ( Runo, Marucho, Shun, Alice, and Julie ) who, one day, witness random cards falling out of the sky. From this surreal event, they made a card game called Bakugan. The group jointly call themselves Battle battlers having the try to restore balance between the universe of Vestroia and the human world with which it had begun to merge. The creatures of Vestroia are called Bakugan, and a noxious Bakugan, Naga, has upset the natural balance by stealing the silent core. Accompanied by a human named Michael, Naga looks for the infinity core, further disrupting the balance between both worlds. Now the Battle battlers end up in unceasing battle for the fate of Vestroia against such enemies as Masquerade, Hal-G, and the Bakugan Naga.

Taking on the task of a Bakugan Battle soldier, each player uses selected'Bakugan warriors' -- fearful creatures like Juggernoids, Fear rippers, and'Robatallians -- to earn points against their opponents by rolling them into battle. The Bakugan warriors take the shape of magnetic marbles which immediately pop open into Bakugan warrior action figures when rolled onto metal Gate Cards. Players use a bit of creativity and a whole lot of methodology to place their Gate Cards, every one impacting on the battle in other ways.

To play Bakugan, players sometimes set up the game on a board called the Bakugan battle arena and use Bakugan warriors ( magnetic marbles ), cards, and accessories of their choice ) to start the game. You'll need Bakugan Balls to duke it out. The new Bakugan balls has become the most favorite of kids and crossed many boundaries. Even the kids of three year old would love Bakugan because of the Bakugan balls.

The game itself is very simple for the kids to play but some may need the advice of their parents in the starting stage but very soon after, they can play alone.
