The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Return to the Tabletop in New TMNT Adventures Board Game

IDW continues to churn out TMNT tabletop games faster than Dominos churns out what passes for pizza under their loose definition (the board games, on the other hand, are of a much higher quality). The latest expands on the TMNT: Shadows of the Past board game with two new volumes in a new series, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures, launching this January on Kickstarter.

A press release contains more details:

IDW Games are excited to announce the next tabletop adventure for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures. Expanding on the system of TMNT: Shadows of the Past, this tabletop miniatures game will be coming to Kickstarter in January and will be action-packed with new miniatures, tiles, and Adventure Comics for both TMNT fans and miniature game players.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures will be both a co-operative and 4v1 adventure set in IDW's TMNT universe. Kevin Wilson, the designer of TMNT: Shadows of the Past, will be returning to oversee development of the game, while Pete Walsh and Dan Lansdown, founders and admins of the Shadows of the Past online community, will join the team to take the lead on design, including the oft-asked-for A.I. rules to allow for fully cooperative game play.

The Kickstarter campaign for the first two volumes of the game, Change is Constant and City Fall, will launch in January and feature new miniatures, characters, tiles, and fan favorites for all new adventures. With 30 new unique miniature sculpts and iconic art, this game will launch the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles into their next incarnation on the tabletop.

Said IDW VP of New Product Development Jerry Bennington:

We are looking forward to continuing with more Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stories on the tabletop! The fans are excited for more, and Pete and Dan have expanded on the amazing game system built by Kevin Wilson to create a foundation for great gameplay and storytelling. With new art and miniatures, TMNT fans are going to have a lot of fun with these new games.

We want to use Kickstarter as a way to bring the fun of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures to more fans and gamers, while allowing us to create even more components and elements for the game that would not be possible through regular retail release. This will be the first in a series of Adventures-branded miniatures games that will bring some of the industry's most iconic properties to the tabletop, so fans will have a lot to look forward to through 2019.

 

Ahead of the Kickstarter launch, fans attending PAX Unplugged this weekend can try out the game at IDW's booth (#3148).

A prophecy once said that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
