Directions bakugan battle brawlers attack playing card dice game
Essentially an alteration of the game "Hearts"
Need to play:
3-5 players. 5 standard dice. Deck of 56 Bakugan Attack cards with
50 basic number
cards and 6 special character cards.
Object:
Attempt to win 10 rounds by "capturing" the number of cards you
rolled on the die
for that round.
Setup:
For 4 players, use all cards. For 3 players, remove one of each
basic number card
and an additional 1, 2, 9, 10. For 5 players, remove a 2.
Each player rolls. Highest roll is dealer and will start the
round.
Shuffle the 56 cards. Deal equal number of cards to each player.
This is their
entire hand for the round. Each player rolls a die. This is the
target number of
deals they have to win in the round to score at the end. They
must get either one
over or under what they rolled. For example, If they rolled a 1,
their target is 0,
1 or 2. For 3 players, increase target by 1. For 5 players,
decrease target by 1.
Gameplay:
Some may want to "capture" and others to avoid depending on their
roll for that
round. When you "capture", you take the card you played for that
play into a
separate pile, to keep track of your scoring. The other cards
played are discarded
from the rest of the round.
Starting with the dealer and going clockwise each player will
place a card face up
on the table. The highest number played captures, except when
the highest card is
"bumped" or when a special card is played. A "bump" occurs when
2 cards of the same
number are played.These cards bump each other out and the next
highest card wins
that play. If all cards are bumped, nobody wins the play.
Whoever captures starts the next round, if nobody captures, or
if the character
card "Marucho" is played, the same player starts.
Continue until all cards have been played.
End of a round:
Count how many each player captured that round. If it is equal to
or one away from
their target, they score a point for that round.
Then cards are reshuffled, dice are rerolled to find out each
player's new targets.
Special Character Cards: Even if a character card is bumped, its
effect still
applies. If "Masquerade" and "Marucho" are played in the same
round, the last card
played takes effect.
