Scenario and Starter Set<\/strong>.\u00a0 Like previously released HeroClix Starter Sets, the\u00a0<strong>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles HeroClix: Mouser Mayhem! Scenario and Starter Set\u00a0<\/strong>includes the standard (core) HeroClix Rulebook, a Powers &amp; Abilities Card, two dice and a double-sided map. In addition to the aforementioned components, the TMNT Starter also includes rules and game components for multiple scenario games to provide game play experiences beyond the standard HeroClix play\u2014 it is essentially a HeroClix Starter Set and Mini-Game all in one!<\/p>\n<p>With the\u00a0<strong>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles HeroClix: Mouser Mayhem! Scenario and Starter Set<\/strong>, players can choose to play by standard HeroClix rules, train by sparring with friends or try one of the two scenario games:<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Turtle vs. Turtle Training Mode:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Turtle vs. Turtle Training Mode<\/strong>\u00a0can be played with 2-4 players and is a great way for new players to start learning HeroClix. For this mode, each player will place their Turtle in a special training area of the map. If any Turtles move out of the training area or are knocked back out of the area, they are KO\u2019d. The last Turtle standing is the winner!<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Save Splinter! Defense Scenario<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the\u00a0<strong>Save Splinter! Defense Scenario<\/strong>, Baxter Stockmen has sent his Mousers after Splinter and the Turtles need to protect him! For this scenario, the Turtles\u2019 Lair Map gets expanded with the use of 10 Sewer Tunnel Tiles and 5 Sewer Room Tiles. Mouser Tokens will continuously spawn from special squares on the map and the game rules instruct how to move towards Splinter (who is represented by a token).\u00a0 If the Turtles get into real trouble, they can call in Casey Jones (also represented by a token) to lend a hand\u2014or a bat. Choose one of the three difficulty levels and protect Splinter for the specified number of rounds; if he survives, all players win but if he is KO\u2019d all players lose in this 1-5 player Cooperate Defense Game Mode.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Rescue April! Search &amp; Rescue Scenario<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Baxter Stockman has captured April and it is up to the Turtles to rescue her! In the\u00a0<strong>Rescue April! Search &amp; Rescue Scenario,\u00a0<\/strong>players must fight through Mousers and explore the sewers by revealing map tiles in search of the entrance to Baxter\u2019s Lab. Once all of the Turtles make it to the entrance, they all move to Baxter\u2019s Lab to defeat Baxter and rescue April. Both sides of the map and all tiles will be used in this scenario along with the Mouser Tokens, Baxter Stockman Token, April O\u2019Neil Token (and the Casey Jones Token can be called in as well). In this Cooperative Exploration &amp; Combat Game, 1-4 players can control the Turtles while a fifth player controls the opposing forces. Players will need to defeat Baxter Stockman to rescue April and win the game!<\/p>\n<p>Now that we have taken a look at the different modes of gameplay in the\u00a0<strong>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles HeroClix: Mouser Mayhem! Starter Set,\u00a0<\/strong>let\u2019s take a look at each of the Turtle HeroClix included.
