Tak is an abstract strategy game that follows mechanisms observed in Chess and Go. It is the work of James Ernest and Rothfuss, who are currently running a successful Kickstarter campaign for it. The game has already surpassed its $50,000 goal and now stands more than ten times that figure.
The game was an idea developed from another book series, The Wise Man’s Fear, where the game was played in the courts of one of the locations in the setting. The game was described in the book as simple in rules and complex in strategy. The developers have set out to make that game a reality.
The premise is centered around laying down tiles of opposing colors to create a path leading towards the opposing end of a checkered board.

We all know how much of a phenomenon 3D printers have become. They have been on the news for being able to re-produce some of the most ridiculous things. How about an entire wargaming set-up? Ill Gotten Games, a new developer of the Wayfarer gaming system has been working on 3D printing for developing their models and terrain.
Almost everything is based on 3D printing. For the players themselves, the only thing needed is the rulebook, downloadable scenery, downloadable models, and some wargaming instincts.
Wayfarer Tactics provides an accessible universe within an expandable gaming system. It can be adapted to any type of game based on the choices of the players. This can be high fantasy with elves and dragons, or space battles with starships. You can also use your imagination to stage battles using your own models and miniatures. In fact, using any miniature at your disposal is recommended for a great wargaming experience.
