Torres--A strategy game of castle building and knights.

Demonstrate your abilities as a clever castle builder on several levels! Use the building blocks to build the castles and then move your knights into the top scoring positions. If you choose to guard the king, he will be grateful, but you must still build to win the game.

The clever and efficient use of scarce action points will bring victory to only the few truly gifted players. The others may learn from them to teach lessons another day!

Lowenherz illustration The old King is dying and the princes are all vying to succeed him. The players are the princes and each begins with three castles and three knights. Using limited resources, each tries to build stable regions and then expand them. When a prince expands into a brother’s region, he gains points and his brother loses points.

The old haunted castle is filled with lots of creepy characters, all trying to find their own shadow. A shadow is only visible when a window is open, but only one window is open at a time. Your job is to match up the shadow with the correct ghost. It takes a little bit of concentration, and a good memory is a big asset. But everyone starts with the same ghost of a chance to win.

Cathedral illustration
You and your opponent control two opposing forces, battling to gain power. The Cathedral is the peaceful heart of the city, the sanctuary around which your struggle takes place.

It's your move. Should you use your Tower to block your opponent's attack? Perhaps your Abbey can wall off a section of the city. Or, should you place your inn and surround your opponent's tavern?

Capture territory, trap your opponent's buildings, control the space within the city walls and your forces will prevail!
