A point does not help you with the card-tempo though. Furthermore, you are going for cheaper ways to score and hopefully sneak in a better point conversion where you can. Consider even paying the two points in the third raid as well, if that's what you need to do to end the game ahead of your opponent. This choice is not as clear cut, though, so you will have to check both your and your opponent's tableau, as well as the available tribe cards before you decide. In the first raid, you should probably almost allways pay the good. One good for a point is half-price, after all.		* '''-In the second raid, you should probably pay the point''' instead of the 2 resources. 2 resources for a point is a fairly standard conversion in Targi.

Obviously, this includes blocking gold cards (and hopefully taking them for yourself), but putting your worker on, or opposite from, "Trader" when they need gold can also be effective, especially when most or all available tribe cards require gold. If you use "Trader" yourself, try to get at least 2 gold for effeciency and to avoid being blocked out of gold yourself.

	A game of Targi is finished the round a player plays their 12th card (or in the rare event of a 4th raid occuring). This means that when one player finishes their tableau, the other player might have 1 or more empty slots left. If you are the fastest one building your tableau, you have control of game end. Thus, you can finish the game quicker to prevent the opponent from finishing a row for end game scoring (for 4 similar or all different suits). Sometimes, this is worth doing with very small margins to sneak in a win.

			'''An additional point about tempo''' (2026/09/25)

			A game of Targi is finished the round a player plays their 12th card (or in the rare event of a 4th raid occuring). This means that when one player finishes their tableau, the other player might have 1 or more empty slots left. If you are the fastest one building your tableau, you have control of game end. Thus, you can finish the game quicker to prevent the opponent from finishing a row for end game scoring (for 4 similar or all different suits). Sometimes, this is worth doing with very small margins to sneak in a win. If you are a tempo-player, you should concider the following to stay on tempo and build quickly:

			* Focus on cards that provide additional resources and cheap end game point scoring (like "gain 1 point if you have more cards than your opponent" which you are aiming to have anyway).
			* Avoid an early use of Silversmith. Resources should be spent on cards to build as quickly as possible. Silversmith can be a good way to min-max yourself into an extra point in the last round though.
			* In the second raid, you should probably pay the point instead of the 2 resources. 2 resources for a point is a fairly standard conversion in Targi. A point does not help you with the card-tempo though. Furthermore, you are going for cheaper ways to score and hopefully sneak in a better point conversion where you can. Consider even paying the two points in the third raid as well, if that's what you need to do to end the game ahead of your opponent. This choice is not as clear cut, though, so you will have to check both your and your opponent's tableau, as well as the available tribe cards before you decide. In the first raid, you should probably almost allways pay the good. One good for a point is half-price, after all.
