Tak is a two-player board game that combines elements of strategy and skill. Players aim to create a path of their pieces from one side of the board to the other, using flat stones and standing pieces. The game is inspired by the fictional game described in Patrick Rothfuss's novel, "The Name of the Wind." The game can be played on various board sizes, typically ranging from 3x3 to 8x8. Players take turns placing their pieces and can also stack them to create taller structures. The first player to connect their sides wins, making Tak both engaging and competitive.
