First introduced in The Wise Man’s Fear, Tak players can gain an even deeper understanding of the game with the Tak: Companion Book written by game creators Patrick Rothfuss and James Ernest of Cheapass Games with illustrations by Nate Taylor. This book touches on the game's origins, and explains the ancestry and meaning of various types of pieces. It also contains 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. Additionally, flip the book over to the back cover and use it as a makeshift Tak board on the fly! With this book in your possession, you not only have a terrific archive but also an efficient 4x4 board! Find more Tak products and accessories here! You can also find more officially licensed merchandise in our Kingkiller Chronicle collection. All proceeds go to Worldbuilders, a geek-centered nonprofit supporting humanitarian efforts worldwide.
