🎯 Tak board and pieces

Abstract strategy game from Patrick Rothfuss's Kingkiller Chronicle. Build a road across the board.

Play on a 5x5 grid (beginner) or larger
On your first turn, place one of your opponent's flat stones anywhere
On subsequent turns, either place a stone from your reserve or move a stack you control
Flat stones: count for roads and can be stacked on
Standing stones (walls): block movement but don't count for roads
Capstone: can flatten walls and counts for roads (each player has 1)
Moving: pick up a stack and drop pieces along a straight line
Goal: create a 'road' — an unbroken path of your flat stones connecting opposite edges
If no road is made and the board fills, most flat stones visible on top wins
