Help save endangered sea turtles around the world

Trei Amici Games launches 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 build the biggest 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. 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. 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 a few extra details 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.

The Idea: For those of you who don’t know us, we are three huge nerds who love gaming. We work normal jobs and we sometimes play DnD at 1 am because work was hard and we need to relax. One day, while we were at work, we had the thought that we could create games. An idea took hold, and it’s stuck with us like a shell to a turtle. Too Many Turtles is a fun and fast paced game about the world’s slowest reptiles! It wasn’t our first idea, and very possibly not our best idea, but it stuck. Almost 6 months later, we have an actual game and an incredible Non-Profit Partner in SEE Turtles. Thanks to the work they do, we have the opportunity to save real turtles with this card game we created while bored at work. Find more info at www.treiamicigames.com.
