8. Tak

Beth and Jeanne discuss the board game Tak, a simple game conceived of by writer Patrick Rothfuss and designed by James Ernest with CheapAss Games. We describe the elegant rules and strategies together, with Beth focusing on the book's context, the atmosphere of the game, and observations from playing against many opponents while Jeanne discusses her favorite strategies and her observations based on a game between Beth and Jeanne's father. Together, we talk about our strategies and indulge in a lot of teasing.
