Tak: A Beautiful Game is a 2-player abstract strategy game invented by James Ernest of Cheapass Games and Patrick Rothfuss. It was introduced in Pat's book The Wise Man's Fear.
Tak Companion Book is written by James and Pat, and illustrated by Nate Taylor. This book touches on the game's origins, and will explain the ancestry and meaning of various types of pieces. It will also contain an expanded rules section describing regional game variations, as well as strategy hints and terms for various plays and combinations, plus a lot of extra goodies.
The hardcover format is 8.5" square and will feature a 5x5 hybrid game board (diamonds and squares) on the back cover, designed by Pete Venters. It's a great addition to the Tavern Pieces, making it easy to take Tak wherever you go!
