Editorial Review
The Target card game takes only 5 minutes to learn and is fun for the whole family. Five target cards are placed face up in the center of the table, and each card describes a winning hand. Players take turns drawing a new card and attempting to match one of the target card combinations showing on the table. The rules are simple and the target cards make it easy for everyone to see what it takes to win. The game comes with one pack of target cards and one pack of playing cards. --Margaret Quinn

kid fun too5
This game is a step above the card game Kaboodle from the makers of Uno. As my sons (6 & 8) had learned that card game prior, they were able to catch onto this Target game. With a little help, even a novice (with some card game knowledge) can win the game and feel good enough to play again and again. I can get somewhat strategic, and each game plays out a little different. It's not alot of laughs as everyone is concentrating so much and trying to plan their strategy! I appreciated the other reviews. THANKS!

excellent game for two players5
More often than not, my wife and I usually end up playing games with one another as opposed to a larger group of people. Some games that we buy end up being much more fun with friends and family, but are of only limited interest for two players. Target is NOT one of those games...it works beautifully for two people. In addition, it has several other fantastic advantages over many other games:
- you can remove "target" cards if you'd like to control the length of the game (just take some out if you want a shorter game)
- you are never really "out" of the game, even if you seem to be trailing
- it is very, very easy to learn and remember the rules
- it makes you think and strategize, but not due to complicated rules
- it is very travel-friendly, consisting of just a deck of cards

Like other reviewers here, I love the game and can't recommend it enough. It's our "go to" game whenever we have half an hour to relax with a game.

One of our favorite family games5
My children and I love to play games together, and Target is one of our favorites. The combination of strategy and luck makes it a fun game, and while I find it challenging enough, the younger players catch on and get competitive quickly. We especially enjoy seeing who will earn the highest-ever score on one turn. When my children get married I'm giving them a gift of the games we loved best so they can have the same enjoyment with their own children, and Target will definitely be included in that gift!
