Great, dynamic, interesting Two People Working-inserting game

Video at Amazon.com See Preface:
If you want to get an impression of the game, gameplay and game material which takes a look at the video. Therefore, I will not go into here on the rules and the game play in detail in the video gives a good overview of how the game works. Here it goes rather to my comments and thoughts on the game itself.

Targi is the first work by Anders Steiger. It's game for 2 appeared in the series Cosmos and accordingly a pure two-person game. In my eyes it is a real enrichment of the series has distinguished itself in recent years primarily through many editions. Targi is again something new and after settlers card game one of the more demanding games. People know a lot of games and have played many first is familiar: You were collected, must therefore buy tickets the VPs bring, can be exchanged with actions goods in money or points that people know each other already. But as shown in the video has become very interesting execution by the onset of the game characters.

Rules / Gameplay
The game manual is very well written. The few rules are explained with very many detailed examples. If things are not clear about the game starts, you can look them up easily and quickly and find an answer. The gameplay itself is not complicated: Alternating use three workers, put tribal stones, perform actions completed.

Dynamics of the playing field
The constant exchange of the middle cards of the playing field the game has an incredible dynamism. This is in my eyes one of the biggest pluses of the game and something that highlights the game from the mass of similar games clearly.
On the one hand every game is completely new and different.
Secondly, there is therefore no dominant strategy which is interspersed in the long run. You have to adjust every time again on the situation in the game and there will never be two games in the same situation on the field. Here there would be even potentially much room for extensions.
This will ultimately further supported the tribal card are very different. Were they in your own display, they often provide different advantages during the game or at the end of the game in the standings. Often they also influence its strategy since there are advantages if you use their best possible effects. There is much more tribal cards as comes in a game used, it really takes for a few games until all tribals knows, on the other hand result from the fact in each new game again countless opportunities and new and interesting approaches.
This concept of maximum change from batch to batch, it is what, for example, Dominion and 7 Wonders has been so successful and it was here for a game of Kosmos Two People series very well implemented and ensures that the game a high replayability has

Interaction
A further advantage is the relatively high interaction. It is permanently integrated into the game, so it is a rather entertaining despite the hour of play before. While it does not interact directly with each other, so you can act like or not goods, but you can watch the game of your opponent and try to block him for important fields. What you should do, however, only if you yourself have a bit of it because of the blockade will only harm you look most likely itself. Thus, the one not even have a free choice of all facilities by trains of his teammates, the above-mentioned dynamic is only exacerbated.

Target audience
Who games from the Komos 2er series knows and likes can here safely access. It is not really suitable for children, but rather with the children frolic like strategy games like playable. But you have to have a penchant for strategic games. Although there is also significantly more demanding food in the market, but who otherwise rather Zocker- or creative games like is perhaps misplaced, with the game, as mentioned in the video, quite my Partyspiel- "I want to paint" -Freundin inspire could. It is true that love is only grown in the course of the game, but in the end she was there :). Since you can never directly harm, it is quite suitable for couples.

Kenner Game of the Year Nomination
For me, actually one of the favorites, the group with three games is rather small indeed. The major disadvantage in terms of the price is the limited number of players. But if this is one reason would be really not to let a game would win the jury should never nominate it. Therefore I admit the game quite a chance, it also fits ultimately considered very well in the category. Therefore, I express Targi quite thumbs and would be here no surprise when the jury in turn surprised and this really great 2 player game awards the prize.

Conclusion
Ultimately, there is little criticism of the game, come to mind spontaneously actually no one, except that the scheme "Collect goods, cards pay it, to exchange goods for money / VPs and collect sets of cards" is not really new, but here very well combined and has been extended by some interesting elements. As one has already seen in the video and was able to read in this review I am very impressed by Targi. It is a beautiful two-person game, one of the anspruchvsolleren from the same series Cosmos and white mainly by its dynamic gameplay to inspire. He is now not as pronounced as in Dominion or 7 Wonders, but goes in a similar direction and is for a game this price range really succeeded.
Therefore, there is of me a full purchase recommendation, or at least the recommendation to play the game again.
