About this game

Build castles upward in three dimensions and position your knights on the highest floors to score points. Torres is an action-point classic where each turn you choose from building, moving knights, or playing special action cards. The 3D castle towers create a visually striking table presence, and the spatial puzzle of getting your knights to the top of the tallest towers drives every decision. The 2000 Spiel des Jahres winner remains one of the purest abstract strategy games with a medieval veneer.
