The game is geared on a somewha easy basis for easy access to younger kids, but many adults play on here, I myself play and I am 14. You have six attributes, pyrus, darkus, haos, aquos, subterra, and Ventus! Then… you have your 3 bakugan you use, and 1 bakugan trap. THEN… you have 3 gates of different colors, silver, gold and bronze, and THEN….. you have 3 abilities, red, blue and green. The game does get in depth, and has a few imperfections, but overall its fun to collect and play with. If you need a more in depth knoweldge of the basics, just ask!
