| Comments | Torres is a wonderful game. The Iron Valley Gamers (my gaming group) loved it the first time we played -- though we all knew afterwards that our strategy needed a great deal of work. |
| Strategy | There's a lot to consider in this game, as Greg Schloesser points out so well in his review. It probably will take most players a handful of games before they're comfortable with all the intricacies. (The rules are not hard to understand -- quite the opposite. But the game is so deep that it's impossible to pick up all the nuances right away. |
