==Releases==
===Series 1===
The original version of the game (released 2006). In Series 1, victory is achieved by accumulating a varying number of HSP - "Holo-Sector Points". Series 1 included more types of cards, including [[normal card]]s (the most basic of all the Gate Cards), [[Character Card]]s, [[Command Card]]s and Ability Cards (series 1).
===Series 1 - Deka===
Expansion set for Series 1. They are bigger than normal Bakugan, 3'25".
===Series 2===
Released: 2008
The current version of the official rules can be downloaded from the official site [http://www.bakugan.com/].
Series 2 introduced (released 2008) a new set of rules. A major difference is that the victory condition is now simply winning three Gate Cards. Some Series 1 Gate Cards are over-powered compared to Series 2, but the Bakugan work equally well with either rules.
===BakuPearl and BakuClear Series (B2)===
Released: November 2008
The BakuPearl series has larger sized "B2" Bakugan, with higher G-Power ratings.
