About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an extra dose of action and pizza with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures: City Fall! This gem puts you in the shoes of your favorite Ninja Turtle heroes (or their allies!), diving headfirst into campaigns that recreate the epic sagas from the IDW comics. Want something quicker? No problem! There are one-shot missions perfect for those who prefer a more straightforward gaming session.

Players can choose to play cooperatively against schemes concocted by AI-controlled villains, or, if you're in the mood for a more intense showdown, one player can take on the role of the villainous team in a 4-vs-1 battle. Each mission takes between 30 to 120 minutes, depending on the chosen mode. This is the second installment in IDW's "Adventures" series, and like the first volume, it's a standalone game but highly compatible. While "Change Is Constant" covers the early arcs of the IDW TMNT, "City Fall" focuses on the journey of one of the turtles being recruited into the sinister Foot Clan. Each box includes five unique heroes and a cast of iconic villains, totaling over 40 miniatures to make the game even more stylish. It's the kind of game that will appeal to both hardcore TMNT fans and those who enjoy a solid cooperative miniature game with a campaign feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
How many players can play?
The game supports 1 to 5 players, so you can play solo, as a duo, or with the whole crew!
How long does a game session take?
It really depends on the mode and mission, but it generally takes between 30 and 120 minutes. A full campaign will naturally take longer.
Is it complicated to learn the rules?
It has a medium weight (3.17/5 on BGG), so it requires some attention to the rules, especially for campaign play. But it's nothing a good tutorial or a careful read-through can't handle!
Does it come with many miniatures?
Yes! The game is quite generous, including over 40 amazing miniatures of the Ninja Turtles' heroes and villains.
Can I play this if I'm not familiar with TMNT?
Absolutely! While it's a treat for fans, the cooperative mechanics and gameplay experience are quite accessible and fun for anyone who enjoys adventure and strategy games.
Is this game an expansion for another?
No, City Fall is a complete and standalone game, but it is compatible with the previous "Adventures" series volume, "Change Is Constant", allowing you to combine elements if you own both.
