Your favorite Turtles in a Half Shell are jumping into the world of tabletop, as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been announced to be joining UVS Games‘ popular collectible card game UniVersus. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will get their own Starter Decks and booster Set, and you will be able to find Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo, and a host of their biggest allies and enemies throughout the set. This is a true celebration of the franchise, so cards will be present from all facets of TMNT, including the original cartoon, action figures, Mutant Mayhem, and more. The new set will be released on August 15th, but it gets even better.

On top of the new set announcement, UVS Games also revealed that they are teaming up with Gamegenic to create a dedicated line of TMNT card sleeves and playmats, so you’ll be able to deck out your custom Turtles deck with a full line of accessories. Gamegenic has created some truly stunning accessories to go with Star Wars Unlimited and a host of other games previously, so the Turtles-themed accessories should be just as impressive.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Booster set will include over 180 cards, 15 playable characters, and 8 ultra-rare Chrome Rares, which will feature a gold foil stamp TMNT manhole cover. There will also be new ooze treatment alt-arts featuring neon green ink with black and white art, creating a special UV-reactive treatment special to this set. Alt-art cards will feature a host of different eras of the Turtles, including the aforementioned 80s cartoon, action figure shots, Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and more.
You can also pick up a Starter Deck, which is designed to be perfect for new and returning players of UniVersus. The Starter Deck will include all four of the main Turtles, and will feature 61 cards, with 1 of those cards being a Retro Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles character card. 5 cards and the character card are exclusive to the starter deck, so they won’t be included in the Boosters. The remaining cards in the deck are alt-art versions of cards from the booster set featuring an 80s cartoon treatment. You’ll then get a double-sided paper playmat which includes a quick start guide on one side and a zoned playmat for play on the other, giving you everything you need to get started.
