Indie game about saving turtles? Too Many Turtles is a tactical board card game in which two players play against eachother over the course of up to 3 rounds to build the most valuable 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 a little info about real world turtle problems. In addition to being our nonprofit partner, SEE Turtles is doing some truly amazing work to help protect and restore sea turtle populations in Latin America. Brad Nahill, co-founder and President, has been overseeing SEE Turtles programs since 2008, when the organization was founded. In addition to errant fishing policies, the turtle shell trade has come into the spotlight of issues that SEE Turtles is aiming to increase awareness. Turtles are often hunted in rural and undeveloped areas as a source of food, with their shells and other bones being used to make tools or jewelry. The turtle shell trade is still a very prominent market in Central and South America, as well as much of Asia.

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.
