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.
