Cowabunga! Dudes! IDW Games has announced a Kickstarter campaign for, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shadows of the Past
The game is a scenario-driven, miniatures-based combat board game, and its Kickstarter campaign is live now, featuring a host of exclusive gaming and publishing content, including an exclusive April O’Neil Hero Pack!
It features the iconic TMNTs facing off against some of their most notorious enemies, represented in the game by plastic miniatures. The scenarios are designed to tell a continuing story, with the characters developing and improving from game to game. The scenarios are designed for 2 – 5 players, and take about 60 to 90 minutes to play.
The game system is overlord style, and is based on custom action and combat dice as well as a deck of game cards. The hero players can act cooperatively, sharing the results of some of their dice with other characters. The villain player, meanwhile, constructs a deck of action cards based on the characters under their control.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator, Kevin Eastman says
“Kickstarter seems like an incredibly fun way to show the game to the fans, It’s almost like having a month long convention celebrating all things Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. We’ll be able to show off all kinds of aspects of this awesome game and the IDW comic universe it comes from. There’s so much to be really excited for, but I’ll save some of the fun for when the campaign’s actually live!”
IDW is looking to funded Kickstarter campaign, with final components being determined by the campaign’s stretch goals. The game will include at least 34 plastic miniatures, 23 custom dice, 119 cards, 13 character sheets, 12 map tiles, and 144 tokens, as well as four adventure comics and game rules.
