Charles Chau’s Birthday – June 2003

Original venue:

Tin Shui Wai – but because of the rain ………..

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 ….

We’ll be there at 3pm ………..

No problem …..

Everyone’s late ……

Relax! We’re just a little bit late ….

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

mahjong

Lots to eat and drink …….

You can never have too much wasabi

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