Help save endangered sea turtles around the world? Too Many Turtles is a tactical board card game in which two players fight over the course of up to 3 rounds to build the biggest army of turtles that they are able to gather. The player with the highest amount of points at the end of the round wins and the game goes to the first player to win 2 out of 3 rounds. In our base set, you will find two pre-built decks of cards made to play against each other. On one side, you have Turtron: The Legendary Defender, a giant robotic turtle from outer space that has come to earth. He and his army of hatchlings are trying to combat the devastating effects mankind is having on turtles and the environment using a variety of effect cards like Shell Restoration and Environmental Clean Up.
Now some info about real world turtle problems. Sea Turtle Conservancy. Sea Turtle Conservancy was established in 1956 after some of the earliest publications detailing the plight of sea turtles amid global climate change. Their primary focus has been preserving the Caribbean Green Sea Turtle, bringing it back from the brink of extinction. Based in Gainesville, Florida, Sea Turtle Conservancy is no a multifaceted operation, with educational programs and research focusing on sea turtles. The research department operates across Latin America, primarily in the coastal areas ringing the Caribbean where they can track movement and behavior of the local turtle populations.
The field is laid out in 3 rows forming a pyramid. In your back row, you have four slots for turtles. Every time you summon a turtle, that turtle must start in the back row and move up the field. Some turtles will allow you to summon them into higher rows, and some effects cards even affect movement, but we will address that more in the upcoming Movement section. Your starting hand will consist of 7 cards and your deck will be placed to the side of the field. Your pond (Discard pile) will be right above your deck. You will draw a card at the start of each turn, unless you are starting a round. The farther you move turtles up the field, the more points you will receive when you get to scoring (See Scoring).Discover a few more info on Trei Amici Games.
From the guys who played Cards Against Humanity and Exploding Kittens comes a new game, starring some of the slowest animals on the planet; but things get moving pretty quickly! Players will take turns playing turtles and moving them across the field as quickly as possible, dodging all of the wild effects that their opponent can throw at them. Sometimes the effects are very real, like discarded Plastic or Debilitating Pollution, sometimes they’re as sudden as Shell Death!
