Trei Amici Games presents Too Many Turtles: The Card Game? Too Many Turtles is a tactical board card game in which two players compete over the course of up to 3 rounds to create the most valuable army of turtles that they can. 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 a little info about real world turtle issues. 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.
As a rule, you are only allowed to move one turtle, one row per turn. Sorry, we didn’t make the rules! Well, actually we did, but turtles are notoriously slow. That’s a rule we didn’t make. Have no fear though, there are ways you can ensure your turtles make it to the top of your field for maximum points! The first way you may be able to move more is if your turtle has a specific effect that adjusts movement. Turtle Cards including Abnormally Speedy Sid (Pictured Right, Can be summoned into the middle row), and The Amputurtle (Can move twice in one turn), can make their way to the top faster. Other cards such as Hubert the Penta Island Tortoise can’t be moved under their own power.Discover even more info at Too Many Turtles: The Card Game.
The two complete decks in this box are turtally ready to go head-to-head, right out of the box. Estimated play time 20-35 minutes, faster than a hare! In this series the Legendary Defender Turtron, summoned by assembling the five Turtron Hatchlings, will take on an army of daredevil turtles with enough firepower to defend themselves. Some Leaders Underestimate Their Turtles, and the smart leaders know it’s best to travel in a herd, because there’s never Too Many Turtles!
When we started this journey, we didn’t realize that 129 out of 300 species of turtles on this planet are considered either Vulnerable, Endangered or Critically Endangered. We didn’t realize that 6 out of 7 species of Sea Turtles are listed as Threatened or Endangered due in large part to human activity. We didn’t realize that as a society, we throw away 14 billion lbs of trash every year, and that 80% of plastic waste in our oceans came from inland sources. We didn’t realize and so we didn’t do anything. Now we realize what is happening and we’ve taken it as our responsibility to do something before Sea Turtles go extinct and we, as a species, end up going past the point of no return.
