Save turtles both in game and in real life? Too Many Turtles is a tactical point builder 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 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 issues. 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.
We’re proud to present our flagship game, Too Many Turtles. Too Many Turtles is an exciting new card game that offers an innovative way for gamers and conservationists alike to save turtles both in game, and more importantly, in real life.

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!
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 even more info on treiamicigames.com.
