Mine Turtle: an Explosive Game of Truth Or Dare, Featuring Over 100 Silly Mission Cards, Perfect Board Game for Teenagers, Families and Adults, Great for Game Night

Family loved this game

I have a play group that meets once a month and tends to want party games. I have a few other games by Big Potato so ordered Mine Turtle.The game is basically Truth or Dare and a (very cool) turtle "bomb". Players take turns and challenge other players to do some silly things. They are pretty funny with a few that are just meh. From what I read, there were a number of expansions during the kickstarter campaign that may become available too giving even more life to the game. When a player fails (or chooses not to even try) a challenge they press the turtle. Now the Mine Turtle is one of the most fun things and also makes it stand out from other truth or dare games. It is a plastic turtle with a button on the back that, at random presses, will explode (not really, it's just a sound) and then it's game over....or is it? You can continue on with home rules...maybe continue until there is only one player left, maybe play for a set period of time and see who has the least number of explosions, etc.We had a lot of fun playing and had plenty of laughs. It's not so much fun with less players because you don't get to choose someone different and people can feel ganged up on. You are also going to want to play it with people who aren't going to just pass on the challenges every time either so it's really not for everyone. I would give the game 3 stars for gameplay but the Mine Turtle gets it another star in my book. For only $20 (on sale for $18 at the time of this review) I think it is a very fair price, even if it only gets to the table occasionally.

The media could not be loaded. This is a fun game. It gives you some different ways to play. A typical game is played where all players take 3 cards, and after using a card, they draw another. You can choose to allow players to select the whoever they want to do a challenge, or everyone sits in a circle and turns are taken going around, challenging the person sitting on their left. It also has a random roulette mode where you draw a random card when it's your turn to play.The game comes with 120 cards and on each one, it shows the number of button presses you need to make if you refuse or fail to do the mission. The cards themselves are good quality and have amusing illustrations on them.Each card has a mission, and so players take a card and assign the mission to another player. That player must then decide to attempt the mission or refuse it. If they fail to complete the mission or they refuse to do the mission, they have to press the button on the turtle the number of times it says to on the card.The turtle will "explode" after a random number of button presses that can take multiple turns. When the turtle "explodes", it is game over. It says you can make the game more interesting by having the player who detonates the turtle do something like eat a spoonful of chili powder or do a full-body waxing.The turtle looks like what's shown on the box. It has the same smile and the box shows it with a speech bubble saying "hello" - the turtle actually says hello when you turn it on. The button on it's back glows red when you turn it on and when it "explodes." When you press the button it makes a sort of click sound like a mine or some other sound effects. When it "explodes", it's just a sound effect it makes and it sounds like it vibrates a few times. I was kind of hoping it might do something more interesting, like move or pop up or something, but it doesn't. It's still pretty cute and makes the game more interesting. After the turtle "explodes," it's ready for play automatically, so you can just start playing another round.It doesn't come with batteries, so you need 2 AAA batteries to put in it, and a mini screw driver to open the battery panel, which is doesn't come with. It has an instruction pamphlet which explains how to play with illustrations that match the style on the cards.Overall, I think it is a fun and creative game. It has a good mix of easy and challenging missions, and the flexibility in game play means that you can make it suit your needs and who you play it with. Everything it comes with is great quality from the cards to the turtle.

As a self-proclaimed game night enthusiast, I'm always on the lookout for new and exciting ways to entertain my friends and family. That's why I was thrilled to discover Mine Turtle, a hilariously explosive game of truth or dare that's become the crown jewel of our game night collection. I remember the first time we played Mine Turtle like it was yesterday. We were a group of six friends, all eager to see what this quirky game was all about. As we opened the box and began to read through the instructions, we couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. The game's premise is simple: carry out silly missions to avoid blowing up the Mine Turtle. The first person to make it go "BOOM" loses. As we started playing, the laughter and excitement were palpable. The game's over 100 silly mission cards had us doing everything from singing ridiculous songs to performing awkward dance moves. The Mine Turtle's iconic catchphrases, borrowed from the asdf movies, added an extra layer of humor to the game. What I loved most about Mine Turtle was its ability to bring our group together. We're a diverse bunch, with different interests and senses of humor, but this game managed to appeal to everyone. It was the perfect icebreaker, helping us to relax and have fun together. As the night wore on and the laughter continued to flow, I realized that Mine Turtle was more than just a game – it was an experience. It was a chance to let loose, be silly, and enjoy the company of good friends. In short, Mine Turtle has become a staple of our game night collection. It's a hilariously entertaining game that's guaranteed to bring laughter and excitement to any gathering, 5 Stars!
