BIONICLE: Bohrok Swarm was a card game featuring the original Toa Mata, Turaga and the six different types of Bohrok. These cards were sold in decks showing two Toa Mata on the cover. The goal of the game was to defeat the other player by using various cards' different powers and abilities. The game was compatible with the BIONICLE: Quest for the Masks Card game.

Rules

Start

Each player begins with a Toa card. These cards show the Toa's statistics in flight, shielding, speed, strength, swimming, and vision attributes. The goal of the game is to collect all nine of the player's Toa's Great Mask/Turaga cards. Six of these are Kanohi, which when earned, can be equipped to the player's Toa to increase a particular attribute. The Turaga cards also offer other bonuses.

Game Action Cards

The Game Action cards are divided up between the players so each player has a deck. They then draw seven cards each. A player can only have up to seven cards at a time. There are four types of Game Action Cards:

Bohrok Va - These cards offer bonuses for when fighting with Bohrok.
Krana - These cards allow players to control the Bohrok.
Penalty - This card does something bad to opponents.
Reward - This card does something good for the player.

The Board

Every turn the player may move by one square in any direction, unless prohibited by a card, though not diagonally.

Spaces

There are 8 different types of spaces on the board:

Start - The square in which players begin.
Blank - This square permits the player to play a Game Action card.
Mission - Landing on this square means that the player must draw a Mission card; these cards give the player a new mission that must be completed before continuing to search for Great Mask cards.
Challenge - This square starts a Great Mask Challenge. A Great Mask Challenge card is drawn and will have a game element on it; flight, shielding, speed, strength, swimming, or vision. Which ever player has the highest score in that skill, wins. If the player on the space wins, they draw a mask card, if another player wins, nothing happens.
Game Action - Landing on this square means that the player must draw a Game Action card from their deck.
Portal - Landing on this square allows the player move to any other Portal space on the board.
Double Results - This square allows the player to repeat their previous action.
Bohrok Control - If a player lands on this square, they may control a Bohrok. If the player has the krana in their hand corresponding to the Bohrok on top of the Bohrok pile, they may discard the krana and begin the Bohrok Challenge. The player must choose another a player to battle, though they must have at least one Great Mask card. The player then flips over a Great Mask Challenge card, and if the game element matches the element of the Bohrok, this statistic is added onto the player's statistics. If the player has a Bohrok Va card that matches the Bohrok, its points is also added to the statistics. If the player's statistics are then higher than the opponent's, they must discard a Great Mask card.

End of Game

The winner of the game is the first player to get all of their Toa's Great Mask cards.

Trivia

The game is almost identical to the Quest for the Masks game except for the addition of Bohrok control.
Despite being released around the same time as McDonalds' promo card game, BIONICLE: The Bohrok Awake, the two are unrelated.
