## Overview

Targi is a critically acclaimed two-player strategy board game featuring worker placement and resource management mechanics. With a 7.6 Board Game Geek rating and prestigious award nominations, it challenges players to trade and strategize on a dynamic 5x5 desert grid. Designed for intermediate skill levels, it offers a 60-minute playtime and includes a solo variant, making it a perfect blend of depth and accessibility for millennial professionals seeking engaging, competitive gameplay.

## 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.

## 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.
