Torres is an engaging tactical game set in medieval Spain. The recent war left all the royal castles in Castile in ruins, and as princes, you must rebuild them at your father's request. The player who builds the greatest castle becomes the new king and wins the game.

Each prince has six knights at their disposal to oversee construction. You can work on the castles alongside your brothers and their knights, then try to seize control of the highest castle tower. In each round, you have a set number of action points to move your knights, summon new ones, expand castles, and raise their towers. You can also use one special card per round to reach your goals faster and more easily. Three times during the game, the king himself inspects the castles and awards points based on the product of the castle's area and the level of your highest-placed knight. It's not just about building the biggest and tallest castles; you must also position your knights strategically to score the most points.

The game is in English, and a Czech translation for the 2nd edition is available.
