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.

Sophia N. ★★★★★

The worker placement here is tight — you're constantly weighing dates and salt against the gold coins you actually need. My first game ended with me one silver short of the card I'd been building toward, and I immediately wanted a rematch.

Charlotte D. ★★★★★

Didn't expect a desert trading theme to click so fast, but the way gold coins and the tribe-leader role drive every decision had me hooked by round two. The salt, dates, and pepper cards make each turn feel like an actual negotiation instead of just placing workers.

Joshua F. ★★★★★

I played this with three friends and the tension over the salt and pepper spots got genuinely heated by the last round. Trading dates for gold coins sounds simple until someone blocks the exact card you needed.
