Salt and camels mean power and prestige. Four Touareg tribes compete for supremacy of the desert: raiding caravans, conquering salt extraction sites, defending oases. Targui is the singular form of Tuareg. The Tuareg are a desert people in the Sahara. The players each represent one of the tribes. You see a part of the desert with the different landscapes. Each different area has its own economic and strategic value. Players strive to gain control of the entire desert, making clever use of the features of the different areas. Targui has an innovative turn system, which allows the tension to rise high. You have to conquer areas, defend your base camp and expand your armed forces (camels). The game board itself has to be rebuilt with each game. Setting up your own base camp requires a good dose of planning. The game can take a long time (5 hours is not exceptional) before there is a winner. Age: from 12 years old
