	Description Edit \| History

Torres is an abstract game of resource management and tactical pawn movement. Players are attempting to build up castles and position their knights to score the most points each turn. Players have a limited supply of knights and action cards that allow special actions to be taken. Efficient use of pieces and cards, along with a thoughtful awareness of future possibilities, is the heart of this game.

Torres is considered by many to be an informal member of the Mask Trilogy.

Torres-TowerYard.jpg

A 5in x 5in card for the placement of a players towers during a phase/year. Our play group sometimes found that players would mix up which stack was which during the course of the game. I created this and then spray mounted the printout onto some chipboard to keep it nice and sturdy!
