Trying to beat the summer heat? Stay indoors and play Tak! Play online at playtak.com or make your own DIY set like this one by Raine.
A Tak set sits on a crafting table. The board is carved onto the lid of a wooden box and there are handmade wooden pieces, as well. A game has recently concluded and the player using the dark pieces has completed a road.
