The cards in your deck always rotate from your draw pile to your hand, after which they go to your discard pile. When your draw pile is empty, shuffle your discard pile so that you have a new draw pile. Each turn you may perform 1 action and make 1 purchase. Every turn you buy additional cards, so you can achieve your goal in your own way.

A bird game full of tactics and excitement As a bird lover, you try to create the best living conditions for the birds in your sanctuary. Each bird expands a chain of powerful combinations in one of its habitats. These habitats focus on different growth factors: grabbing food, laying eggs and drawing new bird cards. Who will build the best action motor and score the most points with their birds at the end of the game? Each turn you play a bird, after which you can perform all actions in the relevant habitat. This way you can take food from a “real” birdhouse, place egg miniatures in nests or collect new birds. All options earn points in different ways. The Games Friends: “ Wingspan is absolutely fantastic! The artwork is beautiful, the game mechanics are very good and the rules are simple.

You have just been elected mayor. Congratulations! Unfortunately, your citizens have some big demands: they want jobs, an amusement park, a few cheese factories, and maybe even a radio tower. Wow, that will be a difficult assignment because your city currently only consists of a wheat field, a bakery and one dice. Armed with a dice and your dream, you must grow Machi Koro into the largest city in the region. You have to generate income from developments, build public works and steal from your neighbors' coffers. But make sure they don't do the same to you! At the end of your turn, you can use your income to buy one new building from the supply or activate one of your attractions. The player who activates their fourth attraction first wins the game. The Games Friends: “ Machi Koro is a real hit and, despite the luck of the dice rolls, you can still play it very tactically. A game is over in no time, so it is the perfect game for a break or for a holiday. As far as we are concerned, a true classic!"

Unlike in other cultures, among the desert people of the Tuareg, men (Targi) cover their faces. The women (Targia) do not wear a veil. The women take care of the family and the animals and are in charge within the tent. The families are divided into tribes with the Imashaghen (noblemen) at the head. As leaders of a Tuareg tribe, the players trade in local (dates and salt) and exotic (pepper) commodities. With the gold and the other benefits they gain from it, they expand their influence. There is a new offer every round. The commodity cards are a means to achieve your goal of obtaining the desired tribe cards. These give you an advantage during the game and earn points at the end of the game. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins the game. The Games Friends: “ Targi offers a lot of challenge in a small box. The game mechanics of Targi are really well thought out and work like a charm. Because you have to make a lot of difficult choices, Targi feels more like a large board game than a small card game. Highly recommended!”
