Watch “Unboxing The Bento Box Travel Tak Set - And Contest Announcement!,” a board game unboxing for Tak from Simmon Tak on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Simmon Tak on YouTube:
This set was super cool to try out. I love how small and compact it is, while still being both functional and nice to look at. The theme is also pretty awesome.
The 3D Printing Design Contest information and signups can be found here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfAEo-fyf-jbYGf9rpjDerWPWMBhu0sU6KixRWX-QJWyPOIcQ/viewform
Your design doesn't have to be as fancy as Bill's, for sure. And there are lots of different levels of participation. You don't have to print it, you don't even have to 3D-model it. You can still get some points for offering general ideas or rough sketches. ALSO, you can be entered into the drawing to WIN the Bento Box Travel Tak Set. So participate!
Some more information about this Bento Box Tak Set: The inserts that hold the pieces are removable. They are set up similar to how you use the pieces during play. A single opponent piece up top for the first turn, 20 pieces in a column for the rest of the 5x5 pieces, and a column of 9 to use if you're playing 6x6. This way, you don't need to really count out based on size when setting up. This set was pretty awesome, and he has a few other ideas he's working on, too. You can see what he's working on and other things on his Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/rabbitboy84/

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
