Save turtles both in game and in real life

Save turtles both in game and in real life? 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 most valuable army of turtles that they can. The player with the most points at the end of the round wins and the game goes to the first player to win 2 out of 3 rounds. On the other side, you have an army of daredevil turtles being controlled by humans trying to stop turtron from saving the world. Wielding terrible effect cards like Debilitating Pollution and Plastic, they will stop at nothing to keep the valiant hero Turtron from cleaning the environment and helping the turtle population to reassert itself. Thanks to our amazing partners at SEE Turtles, you’ll be able to save turtles no matter which deck you play! In fact, we will pledge to save at least 50 turtles for every person who backs our game. In other words, your figurative turtle saving antics can literally save endangered sea turtles in real life.

Now some info about real world turtle problems. Turtle Foundation. The Turtle Foundation is a European-based conservation organization dedicated to educating people on the looting of sea turtle nesting grounds across the world. With representation in Germany, Switzerland, Leichtenstein, the United States, and Indonesia, the Turtle Foundation is one of the leaders on our list in educating and spreading awareness on turtles.

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).See more info on Trei Amici Games.

Counter Cards – Counter cards can be used to counter or react to effects cards played against you (One great example is Shell To Pay, pictured right). These cards can be extremely helpful for defending your turtle army. Turtle Movement/Ownership – As mentioned above, certain effects cards can affect turtle movement. Additionally, certain effects cards can allow you to locate and move cards in your deck or pond or even steal turtles from your opponents side of the field.
