Tak Board Game: A Beautiful Game

Description

My next several hours were spent learning how to play tak. Even if I had not been nearly mad with idleness, I would have enjoyed it. Tak is the best sort of game: simple in its rules, complex in its strategy. Bredon beat me handily in all five games we played, but I am proud to say that he never beat me the same way twice.’ -Kvothe

Tak is a two-player abstract strategy game dreamed up by Pat Rothfuss in ‘The Wise Man’s Fear’ and made reality by James Ernest. In Tak, players attempt to make a road of their pieces connecting two opposite sides of the board.
