"Feels like it's been around forever"
5 stars"

A game designed around a few lines in a book shouldn't work, but it does. Like all good abstracts: easy to learn, hard to master. And when you pull off a move your opponent simply didn't see coming…

Description

“My next several hours were spent learning how to play tag. 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 a reality by James Ernest. In Tak, players attempt to make a road of their pieces connecting two opposite sides of the board.

Features:

  • Tak is a pure abstract game in the same family as chess, go, and mancala.
  • Double-sided, thematic board artwork by acclaimed artist Echo Chernik
  • Easy to teach, with a design that accommodates players of any experience level
  • From the pages of the wildly popular Kingkiller Chronicle, by best-selling author Patrick Rothfuss
  • Unique wooden components and beautifully designed board give Tak an elegant look to complement its design
