## Overview

Targi is a highly rated two-player worker placement board game that challenges you to strategically trade and position your tribe members on a dynamic 5x5 grid. With a 60-minute playtime, a solo mode, and prestigious award nominations, it’s perfect for millennials seeking a compact, intellectually stimulating game that blends cultural storytelling with competitive strategy.

## Description

A Targi is a male member of the Tuareg people, who live in the Sahara desert. As tribe leader, you will be trading dates, salt, and pepper to obtain coveted gold coins and advantages. In the game, the desert is a five-by-five grid of cards. Position your Targi figures on the cards that border the desert. You carry out the actions of those cards as well as the cards at the crossroads between them. If you don't go to the merchant, you won't be able to trade — and even worse, your opponent will. Or maybe a caravan will bring the merchandise you desire. There are many choices to consider. But don't wait too long, the desert is harsh and you might miss an opportunity to make a deal. In the next round, a completely different set of offerings will be on the table. The goods cards are the means to the end of getting highly desired tribe cards. These in turn bring advantages during the game and victory points at the end. You can win only if you plan shrewdly and always keep some gold in your pocket.

Review: Refreshingly Different - This was refreshingly different than a lot of board/card games that I've played. While still a luck-based game when it comes to the cards available, the strategy is based on the movement of the board/gameplay each turn. This added a nice variety that changed how I play. It was a lot of fun, but does take a little bit to learn. The pieces seem like good quality and the box is a smaller size, making it easier to store. Great for 2 players!
Review: Great two player game with worker placement and resource management mechanics. - Excellent two player (only) game. The “board” consists of 16 border cards that are always the same and 9 center cards that vary throughout the game. Players take turns placing one of three “workers” onto the border cards (with limitations on how they do that). Imaginary lines are drawn between your workers and where those lines cross (row vs column), you place another token to signify that card is yours in addition to the ones on the border that you claimed. After each player places their workers and determines the two cards in the middle that are theirs, it’s time to resolve the (5) card’s effects. “Goods” cards grant resources and “Tribe” cards are what you’ll spend those resources on. Eventually, players will build a “display” of tribe cards that they have purchased in front of them. A 3x4 grid of 12 cards. How you lay those cards out matters towards your final scoring. We found the game very enjoyable, easy to learn, affordable, fairly quick to play and not as vicious as other two player games. Overall, a fine game.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this edition in English?**
A: Yes

**Q: Why is the expansion more than the base game?**
A: The MSRPs for both Targi and Targi The Expansion are $19.95. Both games are still in print so the prices should go back to MSRP.

**Q: I got this used but it is missing goods cards (I have 13/19), how many of each type of goods cards are there?**
A: I believe for the 19 cards there is supposed to be 3x Gold, 1x Victory Point, 2x Single Salt, 2x Single Pepper, 2x Single Dates, 3x Salt/Pepper/Date Choice, 1x Double Salt, 1x Double Pepper, 1x Double Dates, 1x Salt and Dates, 1x Salt and Pepper, and 1x Pepper and Dates.

**Q: Does this work with first edition?**
A: Thank you for your question. Yes, the expansion improves and expands the gameplay from the original Targi. 

You will need the following items from Targi: all 6 Targi figures; all 4 tribe markers; the Robber figure; all of the goods, gold, victory point tokens, and the starting player toke; the 2, 3, 6, 7, 11 and 15 boarder cards; and all of the goods cards.
