Dancing with foes. Forget Ninja! Turtle Wushu is the real sh*t. Giant tiny turtles from space battle for the ultimate supremacy. There can be only one. A real-time Ninja-Joust dancing game with tiny tiny turtles. On one hand rests a turtle. Turtle doesn't like other turtles. Push other turtles of the others hands!

Preparation

Every player needs a small turtle. Put the turtle on one hand. It rests on top the hand. Please don't use your finger to hold them, or glue, or bubble gum.

Player Instructions

Form a Circle and join your turtle hands together in a star shape (almost touching each other), so the turtles can greet each other (and remember the scent of the enemy). Slowly take your hand behind your back and whisper "Turtle Wushu!". The game starts when all turtles are behind the back. Try to hit the turtle hand of another player with your hands, so the turtle tumbles to the ground. The last player with his turtle on his hand wins the round. Hitting any other part of the opponent is considered a FOUL. When you lose a turtle by a FOUL, put the turtle back up. There is no penalty for fouling once. If a player is fouling all the time, kick him out of the game. TURTLE WUSHU is more Basketball than Rugby. If you lose a turtle in the process of fouling you're out for this round.

2 vs. 2 Rules: Turtle Wushu Double

A surprisingly nerve wrecking and tactical game variant. Best played in two teams of equal strength. Similar to doubles in tennis two teams with two players play against each other. The team that loses a turtle loses a point. If both teams lose a turtle A Turtle Wushu match consists of a best of five sets, a set is a best of five rounds.

Possible Variants

- 16bit Turtle Wushu: An even more tactical approach. Rob the enemy empty, but secure your base. But the tiny turtles can only carry one bit at a time. Bummer!
