PLAYED FOR YOU

Tuareg

The blue People

Tuareg load up their camels with water, gold, rock salt and sorghum for a trek to the next oasis. If you show the most valuable goods there you will make the highest profit, but goods stowed away in caves or with thieves can change the outcome.

Each player has two camels; special cards for donkeys, caves, thieves and maps are stacked open-face and separate. Two goods card are in open display as a market. In your turn you can either draw goods cards and store them in your hand or load camels with goods from your hand or acquire goods cards from the market and load them onto your camel directly or buy special cards.

Your storage area are your cards in hand, you draw three cards and must place one of them into the market. To load up a camel you place up to four cards from your hand next to a camel, a maximum of two different once and with only one among them – for instance, salt-salt-gold-gold is okay, salt-gold-salt-salt is not! For gold there is a limit of two and water can only be loaded onto a camel alone. Cards from the market are governed by the same rules, they must be put on a camel immediately. To buy special cards you use goods cards from your hand or from a camel or a combination of both; from a camel you can only take the top card, but one after the other.

Special cards influence the ownership of goods. When the goods cards are used up you count your goods by varieties and score victory points for majorities.

When all is said and done, Tuareg is a set collection game with a very attractive and tricky exchange mechanism that fits the topic well. A special praise is due to the wonderful graphic design.
