This is a race game, but we all know in this context that slow and steady wins the race. You have to spend carrots (energy) to advance. You can earn carrots by moving backwards to a tortoise square. The number of carrots you earn depends on how many spaces you lost. Some versions have a hedgehog instead of a tortoise.

The object is to eliminate all of your opponent’s people. You can protect one of your own by transforming him into a tortoise. His new shell will save him from being harpooned by your opponent. You do this by playing a tortoise card, and then placing a marker on the person you want to protect. If you move him later, he loses the marker.

One side of the board is marked with pink turtles, the other with orange fish. Each card shows the map that is on the board, with one island highlighted. The top and bottom of the cards are also marked with turtles and fish. Check which symbol (turtle or fish) is at the top of the board from your perspective. Orient your cards the same way. That makes it a whole lot easier to locate the highlighted islands on the board. The backs of the cards are also marked with a turtle and fish, so if you keep the pack in order, the cards will already be oriented correctly when you pick them up.

In this game, players must visit the locations of endangered animals. Each player receives some cards during setup, with animals they must reach during the game. There are also some face-up animal cards that may be claimed by whoever first reaches that animal. The sea turtle is located off the coast of South America.

The blue cards together form a nice underwater scene. A turtle is quite prominent in a few of them. This turtle is for display purposes only!

I haven't played this turtle racing game, but it looks cute. If you've tried it, what do you think?

One person who rated this game calls it "...the only die-based combat system in the history of board games in which the number rolled has absolutely no bearing on whether you defeated the enemy or not."

This is for very young kids. Some board spaces show the silhouette of an animal. If you land on one of these, you can try to identify what animal it is. If you get it right, you get to move up an extra space. Yep, one of these animals is a turtle.

Kids draw cards and try to match the pictures on the cards with pictures on their own personal boards. Each picture is labeled for kids that are learning to read. One of the possible pictures is a turtle.

I just learned of another sea turtle game!
This is a race game with a memory element. It came out this year and was designed by Corné van Moorsel. Don't know anything else about it though.

I just learned this game this weekend. It has sea turtles too! There is one in the top right corner of the board, and several on the box. (They're not used in the gameplay, just the artwork.)

West over water I fared bearing poetry's waves to the shore of the war-god's heart; my course was set. I launched my oaken craft at the breaking of ice, loaded my cargo of praise aboard my longboat aft.

Pray tell why the only documentaries you ever see are of turtles giving birth and then the babies getting eaten by sharks...or islanders harpooning helpless turtles to eat and then make the shells into drums
