Episode 139 - Torres

So we may be a little obsessed with Kramer and Kiesling games, but we felt compelled to share our thoughts on Torres -- a spiel winner and honorary 4th game in "the mask trilogy." In this episode, we return to our classic deep dive format where we share ratings and reviews and then get down to business breaking down the decision space. We try to think about what separates this game from some of the other K&K action selection/territory control offerings, the action economy, and a very cool card system that drives the whole thing forward. And with that, the Interdecisional Spaceship is off!

Pre-Planners

New to the list Taverns of Tiefenthal! Santa Monica, Food Chain Magnate, and social deduction games et. al remain in our backlog. Santa Monica will likely be the next deep dive we do!
