How To Play Target: Rules Summary

Setup

First, gather your friends around the table. You’ll need a minimum of three people; otherwise, it’s like playing hide-and-seek alone. Not fun!
Next, lay out the game board on a flat surface. Don’t try playing on a tilted surface, or you’ll spend more time chasing pieces than actually playing.
Each player selects a token. Choose wisely. The last time I chose the chicken token, I clucked my way to victory!
Distribute the cards evenly among players. Do not give extras to your favorite player—unless it’s me!

Gameplay

Players take turns drawing a card from their stack. Here’s a tip: don’t draw like a magician unless you want to look silly.
Perform the action on the card. If a card tells you to jump, just jump! Luckily, there’s no card for singing, or my dogs would be howling.
Players aim to land on specific board targets. Hitting targets gives you points—missing them gives you jokes about how bad your aim is.

Winning

The first player to reach the magic number of points wins. It’s like reaching a small, cardboard Mount Everest.
In case of a tie, players compete in a sudden death round. That’s when things really get spicy!

Special Rules & Conditions

Watch out for the wildcard card. It can change the game’s direction faster than my cat changes his mood.
If two players land on the same target, a tiebreaker challenge ensues. It’s usually a thumb war, but I’ve seen arm wrestling too.

Understanding these rules will have you playing Target in no time. Remember, the best way to learn is by playing, so gather your friends and start aiming for victory!
