Targui is a game in which the board is built by laying tiles representing the different terrain types on a blank board, and then each player starts a settlement in a corner of the board. [1]

Reception

Brian Walker reviewed Targui for Games International magazine, and gave it 4 stars out of 5, and stated that "recommended is the 12 turn option game length which would take about two hours to complete. The full 16 turns is too much for the game to handle, especially if there has been an elimination and you've got a paranoiac wailing away in the background. You know how these people can be." [1]
