- Get a bakugan. The strongest is 650 G points.
- For two players each player puts down two cards. For 4 players each put down 1 card farthest from them. Then the youngest player goes first in a clockwise motion. Put down 2 more cards on the corner of the card in front of you, this is your shot spot. To shoot you can shoot it like a marble, or put it on the floor, and hold in your thumb and middle finger (or if you have the Bakugan launcher, you can use that).
- Next because the cards are metal and the bakugan have magnets when you shoot the bakugan and it stands on the card and stays on it your bakugan stays on the card. If you miss you get the bakugan back and you can put down a card if you want. If it stands you can also put down a card. If your bakugan and someone else's bakugan land on the same card you go into battle. Flip the card over and you see 6 numbers. Thats how you make the gate card open. Match the color of the bakugan with the color on the card. Add the numbers to your bakugan's G points which is either inside your bakugan our outside. If your bakugan's G power is stronger than the other you get the card and the bakugan, and your bakugan returns to you. You can have as many bakugan and cards as you want in a battle, but the minimum is three.
- If the bakugan have the same G points you take the bakugan off the card and each shoot again. If only one lands on it they get the card and bakugan. If you knock a bakugan off a card its a automatic knock out, or win.
- Play until all the cards or bakugan are gone. At the bottom of the card there are HSP (holo sector points.) Add all of your cards holo sector points and your remaining bakugan and captured bakugan are worth 100 points and if you have more points you win. And if you lose in a battle don't cry. But you don't take anyones bakugan if you win unless you play for keepsor have a doom card witch is real. This game requires nerves of steel.
