Charles Chau’s Birthday – June 2003

Original venue:

It’s Cayman Rise aka Casa Thomas for Charles’ party

Jason was the first to arrive.

Thomas was busy – so Jason got there and let us all in ….

Anyone care for a game of

TARGUI?

Ummmm…. Any ideas how to play????

What on earth do all the cards mean?????

Charles will explain everything ………….

….. in Cantonese … tough luck Clara

What is Targui?????

Targui is a "Risk in the desert", and Tuareg tribes are fighting for squares of strategic - hills, oasis - or economic - oasis, mines - value.

Players use their pawns to control squares, they can attack adjacent squares, the goal is to conquer territories, battles are resolved by a roll of the dice with a bonus for the most numerous. You kill camels and not men. Easy.

If you’re not up for Targui

There’s always

Still hungry? How about some pizza ………..
