How to play Toru

To start playing Toru, divide the deck equally between the players, with the cards face down. Each player must arrange their cards in a pile.

At the start of each round, each player turns over the top card of their pile. The player with the highest card wins all the cards turned over that round and adds them to the bottom of their pile.

If two or more players turn over cards of equal value, a "war" takes place. Each player places more cards face down and then one card face up. The player with the highest card wins the war and takes all the cards played. If there is a tie, the process is repeated.

The game continues until one player has obtained all the cards or until the allotted time has elapsed, in which case whoever has the most cards at the time wins.

Main objective

Toru is a board game whose main objective is to capture a predetermined number of opponent's pieces, or move them to their target area, using strategic and tactical movement on a checkered board, in order to overcome the opponent by anticipating moves and controlling space.

Mechanics of Toru

  • Collecting Sets: This mechanic requires players to gather specific cards or pieces to form predefined sets. Each complete set grants points or special abilities, encouraging players to plan their moves to collect the necessary items. Strategy involves knowing when to focus on collecting specific sets and when to block opponents.
  • Hand Management: Players must manage the number and type of cards or pieces in their hand. Making decisions about which cards to play, which to discard and when to use special abilities is crucial. Success depends on the balance between keeping options available and executing decisive actions to achieve the game's objectives.
  • Real time: Unlike turn-based games, decisions in Toru can take place simultaneously. Players must think and act quickly, reacting to the actions of others and changes in the game state. This adds a layer of pressure and requires quick reflexes, as well as rapid strategy adjustments to take advantage of opportunities or mitigate risks.
