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

Damn that's a lot of cards... but yay!
