Thames & KosmosTargi Expansion | Two-Player Game | Strategy Board Game | Expansion for Award-Winning Game Targi | from Kosmos Games

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.

My husband and I are new parents and never have time for games anymore but when we do have time this is the game we pick. It's easy to travel with, a fast set-up, incredibly "thinky", and a great game that's well balanced for two people. It does take a game or two to grasp all the intricacies but once you get it you'll be grabbing it as a first choice for you, too, I bet.

Targi is a great two player game. Both my husband and me love playing it. The game play is enjoyable and has a medium level intensity (not too simple, not too complex). The quality of the game pieces, cards and box is excellent as well. Overall, highly satisfied.

This is a great two player game with a solid theme and interesting mechanics! I love the simplicity yet complex strategy it affords. The quality of the game is good with wooden pieces and solid tokens. It is easy to learn and teach! The only negative for me is that I have to set the boarder up each time. Because it is always the same I feel like a game board would have enhanced setup. Overall great game and I am glad I purchased it!

There us so much more going on in this game then you would think. Every round feels like a new game as you strategy changes and you adjust to the new cards in the center.

The game in itself is great with good mechanics and strategy scope (Rated 7.5+ on BoardGameGeek). It's among the very few two-player worker placement game out there.-- Game Overview --In each turn you place your three tokens/agents on the outside border of a 4x4 grid. You collect resources/actions mentioned on the position where you place your tokens as well as the intersection points of these tokens. This mechanics is unique in a way that you place your current token keeping in mind where you're going to place your next token. And since players place their tokens alternatively the other player can place their token at a position where you thought you'll place your next token to spoil your next move. The aim is to collect resources, pay those required resources to build Tribe cards which gain you Victory points at the end of the Game. These Tribe cards also give you some special powers that can be used during the game. The player with most Victory Points at the end of the Game wins.Good:+ The game is quick to set up and easy to teach to new players.+ Gameplay is simple, but has scope to apply various strategies. (If you want to collect same type of Tribe cards or different types - each approach gains you different victory points).+ Gameplay is unique and fun to play. It makes you constantly think about two moves ahead.+ There'll be no one-sided games* as there's minimial 'luck' factor involved. You don't know the winner until the final scoring is done.Bad:- There's a card which can make a player very powerful and one-sided but there's a workaround for it.During the game any player can convert three goods of the same type into a Gold coin. This action can be taken repetitively during a turn. But there's a tribe card when built, you can convert 1 resource to 1 Gold Coin. In a game my opponent converted 4 goods to 4 coins in single turn and I couldn't convert/gain any Gold coins in the entire game. The game became totally one-sided. So we modified the rule that when built this Tribe card, you either convert 1 goods to 1 coin per turn or if you want to convert more than once during your turn, do it 2 goods token per 1 gold coin (Either make the cost 1 for one conversion or reduce the cost from 3 to 2 for multiple conversion).- The border cards are always fixed in order. It'll be good to have more variety in the border cards (different arrangements).-- Build Quality --Being a very new Print, I expected Game to be visually appealing and more thematic. But was disappointed on that front.Good:+ The Goods cards, Tribe cards and Border cards are good in quality. The Border Cards have Pictured representation on one side and Text Description on the other side. So you don't have to reference the Rule Book again and again, just turn it to read description.Bad:- The Goods token and victory point tokens are poor in quality. All Goods token are square card boards of same size. All Victory point tokens (1, 3 and 5) are same in Shape and size with a tiny text on them telling whether it's 1, 3 or 5, which is really poor. These tokens could have been made of different color or sizes to differentiate 1, 3 and 5.- Goods tokens are very limited in quantity. Though the rule says a player cannot have more than 10 goods at the end of their turn, but could hold more during their turn. The rule book explicitly says if you run out of goods token during the turn note it down on a piece of paper! It couldn't hurt to give 5 extra token of each type in the box.- This is just my wish that they should've included a small playing mat in the box. It'd really keep the game setup organized and enable us to play even on Bed! Currently you can't play it on bed as the cards would just keep on sliding on the uneven mattress!

We love this game. Easy to learn and play. I have had a lot of laughs when I do a move that screws up my husband and I don't even realize it. My kids love it too. A great 2 player game. Definitely recommend to all.

Es muy bueno el juego, quizás un poco complejo de entender todas las cartas.Depende del idioma, ya que prácticamente cada carta es diferente, claro tienen imagenes, pero lo mejor es comprarlo si sabes inglés, si no, buscar una versión en español.De ahí en fuera, recomendado, es una competencia real!

Sin duda alguna el complemento exacto para el juego base!

There is nothing to cost too high. Of course this game is good and have good reviews but its price is too much.

Really enjoy Targi as a two player game, it's fun and just the right amount of competition.The rules are simple, but can be a bit much to take in at first reading, as with lots of games, but you'll definitely get it after playing it once.
