Entertainment, a division of The Upper Deck
Company, LLC; the Konami Corporation,

forces to unleash the new Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles Trading Card Game. “Turtles
Unleashed” will be released in participating
retail and hobby stores nationwide in

The two-player game allows opponents to
re-enact the hip and hard-shelled foursome,
as they engage in martial arts mayhem
against arch nemesis, Shredder and the Foot
Clan. “Turtles Unleashed” is a one-on-one
fighting game, in which players create their
own deck by combining various characters and
martial arts moves to fight against their
opponent. By using various Attack, Event,
Character and Item cards, the first person
to have their opponent run out of cards
first wins.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Two-Player
Starter Set will contain two card decks (40
cards each), one rule book, and one game
mat, and the “Turtles Unleashed” booster
pack will contain a total of nine cards. The
entire set will consist of 55 Common Cards
(8:1) and 100 Foil cards (1:1). Foils
include ten Super Rare cards (1:6) and ten
Ultra Rare cards (1:12).
Upcoming booster sets include the Swift as
the Wind booster set (May), and the Still as
the Forest booster set (September). Both
booster sets will provide 100 all-new cards
for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle players to
collect and play.
The all-new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
animated series airs on 4Kids
Entertainment’s FOX BOX on Saturday
mornings.
