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 create the biggest army of turtles that they are able to gather. 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 a little info about real world turtle problems. WildAid. WildAid is a large humanitarian nonprofit organization dedicated to helping all animals that are threatened by humans on a large scale. Their work with turtles is focused very directly on sea turtles, where 6 out of 7 species are in critical danger of extinction in the near future. Wild Aid has been working very closely with several government agencies in China to reduce the toll taken on turtle populations from Chinese consumers who use sea turtles for jewelry, instruments, and homeopathic medicines.
SEE Turtles is thrilled to be partnering with Too Many Turtles to help save endangered sea turtles around the world. Our organizational focus is helping community organizations protect important nesting beaches, and helping protect hatchlings from poachers and predators. The actual real world impact of every dollar donated to SEE Turtles, translates to saving at least 10 baby sea turtles.See a few more details at Too Many Turtles: The Card Game.
And now, without further ado, the stars of our show. Literally! Admit it, you’re here for the turtles. Don’t worry, so are we. Our turtles are split into three distinct types of turtles. Turtles are classified as either Land, Ocean, or Freshwater Turtles. Decks are built around a specific type of turtle so match your turtles up with the proper biome for an easy boost to your turtles HP. You may move and summon a turtle every turn, and on occasion, you might find yourself in a position to summon more than one turtle in the same turn. Keep an eye out for specific turtle effects so you know what your turtles can do!
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.
