Targi The Expansion Board Game

Numbe Of Players : 2 Players

Playing Time : 60 Min

Recommended Age : 12+

Unlike in other cultures, the desert Tuareg men, known as Targi, cover their
faces whereas women of the tribe do not wear veils. They run the household and
they have the last word at home in the tents. Different families are divided
into tribes, headed by the ‘Imascheren’ (or nobles). As leader of a Tuareg
tribe, players trade goods from near (such as dates and salt) and far (like
pepper), in order to obtain gold and other benefits, and enlarge their family.
In each round their new offerings are made. Cards are a means to an end, in
order to obtain the popular tribe cards.

Gameplay:

The board consists of a 5x5 grid: a border of 16 squares with printed action
symbols and then 9 blank squares in the centre onto which cards are dealt.
Meeples are placed one at a time on the spaces at the edges of the board (not
including corner squares). You cannot place a meeple on a square the opponent
has a meeple on already, nor on a square facing opponent's meeple. Once all
meeples are placed, players then execute the actions on the border squares the
meeples are on and also take the cards from the centre that match the row and
column of the border meeples.

The game is predominantly scored and won by playing tribal cards to your
display. These give advantages during the game and victory points at the end.
Usually cards are played (or discarded) immediately once drawn. A single card
can be kept in hand but then requires a special action to play it (or to discard
it to free the hand spot for another card). Each card has a cost in goods to
play. Goods are obtained either from border spaces or from goods cards.
