(More customer reviews)This is an extremely enjoyable rummy game, definitely one of my favorites. Players race to complete the melds on 5 "Target" cards, each of which awards a number of points. When a player completes a meld and claims the card, and new Target card (and hence a new meld requirement) replaces it. With 5 Target cards on the table at a time, you are fighting to hit a group of changing targets.
The key to winning is to make combination melds that fulfill the requirements of two or more Target cards. If you do this, you claim all of those Target cards at once. Claiming two Target cards isn't too tough, but three or four are hard and claiming all five at once is extremely difficult (impossible?). Of course, while you're trying to put together a meld to grab 2 or 3 Target cards your opponent often beats you to one or more of them, so you've got to re-aim your hand at some other Target cards.
I was at Origins (a gaming convention) in Columbus where they were holding a Target tournament, and it's interesting to note that *all* of the players were adults - so while this is a family game suitable for all ages, it has its fans among adults too, it's not a "kid's" game per se.
The cards themselves are of a very high quality. The rules are very clear but could use a few more diagrams. The game is rated ages 8 to adult, and this game will really help younger kids to think a little, though it may take a few hands for the youngest of them to really catch on.
All in all, though, this is my probably my favorite game and may become yours, too.

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 QuinnTarget is the rummy game with ever-changing melds. Deal everyone 5 playing cards, then deal 5 Target cards face up. Set your sights on hitting one of the targets and hope that you do before someone else does! First player to make a meld shown wins the Target card and earns the points. You can even win 2, 3 or maybe all 5 Target cards at the same time. When a Target card is won, a new one replaces it, so the game keeps changing. Simple enough for kids, engaging enough for adults. A great mix of luck and strategy that's fun for everyone!
