Unboxing Devi's Box

Simmon Tak

Simmon Tak

Watch “Unboxing Devi's Box,” a board game unboxing for Tak from Simmon Tak on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Simmon Tak on YouTube:

So I may have splurged a bit. A guy joined the Tak Discord server and said he had a Devi's Box for sale. A few days prior I had mentioned to my wife that I regretted not getting it during the kickstarter... so I had to get it. Here I am unboxing this beautiful box set made of Bloodwood, Maple, and Walnut. If you're interested in Tak and want to learn more, check out the official rules at https://ustak.org/play-beautiful-game-tak/ or the How To Play video at https://youtu.be/eshsoeszb18 Or come where all the action is, the Tak Discord server - https://discord.gg/2xEt42X The Discord is where most active players are, where community events are planned and discussed, where updates to Playtak are discussed, and the best place to find games with other people. You can also see tons of homemade and professionally-made Tak sets like this one there, too. Play online with the community at https://www.playtak.com/ Come check out the subreddit at https://www.reddit.com/r/Tak/ I also have an Instagram! Where a picture of a new puzzle is posted each weekday on a physical board. Go check out @Simmon_Tak on Instagram! I also have a Twitch channel! I'll try to be streaming while recording when possible. https://www.twitch.tv/simmon_tak I've also said it before, but I always plan to keep all the videos on this channel ad-free so there are as few barriers to entry for new Tak players as possible. You shouldn't have to sit through ads to see great Tak content, so I'll do that. I do, however, have a Patreon. If you like the content and want to encourage me to keep making it with money, that's the place to do it. I feel weird talking about it, but there are some perks to joining and you can find those out here: https://www.patreon.com/Simmon_Tak

About Tak, from BoardGameGeek:

"My next several hours were spent learning how to play tak. Even if I had not been nearly mad with idleness, I would have enjoyed it. Tak is the best sort of game: simple in its rules, complex in its strategy. Bredon beat me handily in all five games we played, but I am proud to say that he never beat me the same way twice." -Kvothe Tak is a two-player abstract strategy game where players attempt to make a road of their pieces connecting two opposite sides of the board. To win a game of Tak, a player must be the first to create a “road” of stones connecting opposite sides of the board. Stones can be laid flat or stood on end. When played flat, they are called “flat stones.” In this orientation, other stones can be stacked on them. If they are stood on end, they are called “standing stones” or “walls.” Nothing can be stacked atop a standing stone, but these do not count as part of a player's road. Depending on the size of the game, players may also have capstones, which can can come in many decorative shapes. Capstones serve as both a flat stone and a wall, and can also flatten standing walls.
