For centuries chelonians have feuded over whether turtles or tortoises are superior. To settle the debate chelonians have developed a yearly contest equipping champion contenders with state of the art paint balloon cannons. The goal is simple: Coat the enemy team entirely in paint. So what are you waiting for? Pick up your favorite paint balloon cannon and join the fight to determine whether tortoises or turtles are the best chelonians!

This game features a unique battle mechanic where you and your opponent select numbered tokens to decide if each attack hits or misses. The twist is that, if you and your opponent match numbers, the highest number that matched becomes the base power of the attack! You can play it "safe" by sticking to lower numbers to avoid large hits or you can pay more risky and utilize the full range of tokens to try to avoid hits all together. This mechanic removes what would be chance in other similar games and in its place inserts a complex psychological battle where you are constantly trying to learn your opponent's strategy and get inside their head in order to gain the upper hand.
In addition, the fun and lighthearted theme of this game is reinforced through its mechanics. As your chelonian becomes more and more coated in paint they become harder and harder to hit. Short time limits on selecting tokens keeps the play fast paced and mimics the split second decisions that are made in battle. Do I roll right? Should I duck down? How far should I lead my target?
Each game is unique as you are dealt a random hand of equipment to use for outfitting your chelonians. This allows you to customize to your play style while still encouraging you to get out of your box and try new tactics. You must constantly adapt to your opponent's setups and strategy while trying to confuse your opponent and mask your strategy.
Do you have what it takes to prove your favorite chelonians are the best?

Looks nice, though the rules seem a bit misleading, especially the example fight part.
Played the Print and Play version and its super fun. It has a really unique battle mechanic that really made it engaging. I also love the Turtle themes :) Can't wait for it to go on sale so I can buy ...
