This playthrough is excellent but I think for the first time I'm seeing a game not ideal for your format... but this could just be because this is one of the first times I've watched a playthrough of a game I'm very familiar with. The best part about Targi is that it gets to a point very quickly where every placement decision is tense and interesting, second and third guessing your ideas of what's going through your opponent's head. I think because you're already in your opponent's head, you pulled a few punches--not your fault, just the nature of playing the game against yourself. As always though, brilliant and entertaining, thank you so much for your videos!
I can certainly see what you are saying, and it is always a challenge to simulate double thinking myself. I tried to show some good blocks, but I'm sure I accidentally let some really good moves slip through that likely wouldn't have happened with another person playing. In the end these playthroughs are intended to teach and show how the game feels to play, not necessarily to show a game played super well. Glad you still enjoyed it :)
I really like this one! The alternation of Tribe cards and Good cards is a brilliant way to ensure the board will have good options and keep a cycle of gather/spend/gather/spend going.
at 42:10 at the start of the player (on the left) turn, the tribe marker (cylinder token) should be in pepper and salt goods card (instead of the salt good card).. meaning during the 42:34 "coin flip" the player would normally choose to get salt (since the player already have 2 pepper).. which also means that the player can build the well tribe with 2 salts from tribal expansion on 43:08
Targi is a great 2 player game. I had the opportunity to teach and play a couple of weeks ago when 1 friend and I came early to a game day. It does take 1 hour + to play, so it ususally doesn't fit as a waiting for the rest of the group filler.
at 37.10, white paid a pepper and a coin to purchase a tribe card, but the very 1st tribe card white purchased provided a one goods discount i believe.
At your timestamp I see white paying a date and coin to play a Targia card which they don't have a discount for. Were you talking about something that happened at a different timestamp?
That card only gives the player a bonus date when they take at least one date from goods cards in the round. At 5:25 they took a date from a border card which doesn't activate that bonus. Goods cards are only taken with tribe tokens in the middle or by a Targi action at the Caravan.
Thanks for pointing that out, it's a pity since I'm pretty sure Blue could have used that pepper later on. I've added a note to the Klingon subtitles about this.
Looks like I forgot to put it in there, sorry about that! It was working in the "i" area of the video, I hope you got it figured out. I've added the link into the description now.
Yeah, I put it on the wrong card. I have already added a correction about this to the Klingon subtitles and I recommend turning those one to see this type of correction.
Thanks for the great play through. My wife & I are playing this tomorrow so it was good to see the game in action.
I hope you enjoyed it :)

Brilliant! We're playing this one tonight. Very handy.

Excellent playthrough and explanation. I feel ready to play it now. Thanks!
Great playthrough, thanks

Yeah, I got screwed up there. I do have a correction about this error in the Klingon subtitles.
@@JonGetsGames ah.. I'll make sure to turn on the subtitle next time.. anyway, good job with the video.. :)
Nice 2 player game. Not too expensive to get as well. Thanks for the video Jon!

@@JonGetsGames ok, thanks! I thought they had a discount on everything.
Good work Jon!
Cant we see some top 10 videos :)? Like your best games
I have done some in the past, though they aren't my favorite type of video which is why they are a rare appearance here.
At 5:25 shouldn’t the opponent have gotten a second date because of the tribe card they picked up in the previous round shown on the tutorial video?
That card only gives the player a bonus date when they take at least one date from goods cards in the round. At 5:25 they took a date from a border card which doesn't activate that bonus. Goods cards are only taken with tribe tokens in the middle or by a Targi action at the Caravan.
Thani you Jon for the play through I noticed 1 mistake at 39:40 the blue tribe token should have been placed 1 to the right on the pepper and salt
Thanks for pointing that out, it's a pity since I'm pretty sure Blue could have used that pepper later on. I've added a note to the Klingon subtitles about this.
@@JonGetsGamesThis looks like a really easy to learn tough to master game though. i may have to invest.
For those that like this one, you might also like Bruxelles 1897.
I've been wanting to try that one. I saw it on TTS, hopefully I can give it a go at some point.
is the link for the tutorial working? I can't figure out how to jump there.
Looks like I forgot to put it in there, sorry about that! It was working in the "i" area of the video, I hope you got it figured out. I've added the link into the description now.
@@JonGetsGames no worries, i just went to your yt page and found it from there!
Hi, you made a small error at 39:39 when putting the second tribe token. Br
Yeah, I put it on the wrong card. I have already added a correction about this to the Klingon subtitles and I recommend turning those one to see this type of correction.
@@JonGetsGames For some reason there is no Klingon subtitles right now...
@@Denlerien Huh, it looks like I forgot to click "publish" on a correction which turned them off entirely. Sorry about that, they should be up now.
Jon, stop " liking the idea " of everything.
No need to be rude mate.
I like the idea of Jon liking ideas.
@@TheLonelyCosmonaut Not being rude, just making an observation.
