Updated with some speculation as to the super rare and ultra rare cards.

I thought there were 155 cards not 100??

In the initial press release they said this:

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 10 Super Rare cards (1:6) and 10 Ultra Rare cards (1:12).

That to me says that the breakdown goes like this:

55 Common Non-Foil Cards (8 Common Non-Foil Cards Per 1 Booster Pack)
80 Common Foil Cards (1 Common Foil Card Per 1 Booster Pack)
10 Super Rare Foil Cards (1 Super Rare Foil Card Per 6 Booster Packs)
10 Ultra Rare Foil Cards (1 Ultra Rare Foil Card Per 12 Booster Packs)

Where did you get the idea of there being a foil and non-foil version of each card? Or did you just guestimate based on how magic has been doing foils? Have you gotten any examples of a card in foil and non-foil form yet?

No...there are only 100 total cards...there is a 100 non foil and then 100 mirror image foil 80 of which are common foil, 10 of wich are super foil (1:6) and 10 which are ultra foil (1:12)

I have bought the started and between 25-30 packs of boosters I can assure you that this is the breakdown.

Crazy, I wonder why Upper Deck has that press release on their website and also mentions those ratios in another section on their site and then choose to do it a different way. If thats the case then they really need to update their website with correct information.

Do what my friends have to do with some games (and what I might have to do with this game): see if they can order a box or 2 for you. Most places'll do that.

I have probably bought around 30 boosters thus far. The three boxes will add 72 more boosters though I think my friend wants half a box so perhaps a little less.

Edit, nevermind, just read the first post on here. Thanks.


And again, I offer webspace to host a spoiler for this set. All I need is people to contribute card text and I'll get it made and uploaded.

Hey Guys, I just ordered a 2-player Starter set.

I should buy Booster packs to then??

Btw are there a total of 100 cards now??

And will there be more in the future?

Yes, you should buy booster packs. Its the only way to get better cards, and stores make more money off of those sales than with decks (meaning they're more likely to keep carying the game).

I think there's 100 cards, not sure though.

And yes, hopefully. It all depends on how well this set sells, which is another reason why we should all go buy booster packs .


And card 11 is Shinku Throw. I has gold/silverish holo text, and the card's holo. blue forceful counter attack, and 0 power.
