Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shadows Of The Past Board Game Review

Toys Hobbies

Review by Ben Ruegg

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shadows Of The Past, is a miniatures board game for 2 to 5 players that puts you in the heat of battle, either as one of the turtles or the villains. With incredibly fast gameplay, discussions between players and a quick setup, this game has become one of my top 10 games and is a great intro game to newcomers to the board game hobby.

Published by IDW and designed by Kevin Wilson who is famed for Doom: The Board Game, and Descent: Journey’s In The Dark, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT): Shadows Of The Past has elements that feel familiar but adds some unique points of difference to the genre. One of the standout features of the game is the dice mechanics of the TMNTs which I will discuss a bit later.

The game's story is made up of four comic book adventures with four scenarios in each. In the comics the TMNTs face off against the villains, and the outcome determines what the next scenario will be. Each of the four comic adventures ends with an epic battle. The great thing here is that you can just jump into any one of the scenarios without needing to have done previous ones, though the stories have a better progression when you do.
