Overview
Put one card face down in the center. Take turns shooting Bakugans. When any 2 Bakugans "Stand" on the card, they do battle!
Prepare
- All players begin with the same number of cards and Bakugans. Min: 3 of each. Max: No max! (Only one Special Ability card each!)
- All players lay one card face down, farthest away from themselves.
Brawl
Shoot a Bakugan!
Stand
Two Bakugans on the card? ...Do Battle! Both Bakugans yours? You automatically win!
If you "Stand" two of your Bakugans on a card you automatically capture that card. If you tie, keep your Bakugans and remove the card from play. You can not shoot captured Bakugans.
Miss
Keep your Bakugan.
Stand or Miss, you may lay down one more card if you have one.
Field Layout
When only two players battle, each player places two cards down to form the field. (4 cards total)
- Each card you lay down must touch other cards on one full side.
- Your first card played may NOT be a Special Ability Card.
Lay your cards farthest from you. Youngest shoots first. Go counter clockwise. Shoot from 2 card length away.
Facts
- Youngest player goes first.
- Shoot from 2 card lengths away.
- The winner of a Battle shoots next.
Winning Battles
A. Compare the G power of the battling Bakugans.
B. Flip the card over and add or subtract your G Power Boost.
Example: 350 (G Power) + 150 (G Power Boost) = 500 Total G-Power
C. The Bakugan with the most Total G Power wins the Battle!
D. When you win a battle you capture the card and the defeated Bakugan.
Winning Games
Continue battling until all cards have been captured. Then, count up your total HSP points. Each Bakugan is worth 100 HSP. Player with the most HSP wins.
Bakugan HSP + Captured Cards HSP = Total HSP
That's it!
Calling STAY
STAY can only be called when you have NO Bakugans to shoot.
To STAY, you choose a Bakugan STANDING on a card and call: "STAY". If no other Bakugan STANDS on that card during the round, you capture the card AND win back your Bakugan.
(The text layer contains a stray "a" in this sentence, "To STAY, a you choose"; it has been read as "To STAY, you choose".)
Critical KO!
When your Bakugan knocks a standing Bakugan off a card AND remains STANDING on that same card you win the BRAWL!
Victory
- The game ends when all the cards have been captured OR when only one player has Bakugans left to shoot.
- Count up your HSP Points. Add up Bakugans + HSP (see other side for details).
- The player with the highest HSP wins the game!
Tie in Battle: Sudden Fury
- Both players take back their Bakugans.
- Turn the card HoloSector Side UP.
- Then... Sudden Fury! Each player shoots.
- Both Miss: Card stays, shoot again.
- One Stands: He wins the Battle.
- Both Stand: Sudden Fury AGAIN!
