Tak University - Terminology

In this third video of the new Tak University series, we talk about Terminology - specifically, what do all these terms I use in commentary videos actually mean? 0:00 Introduction 0:35 Flatstones / Flats 0:51 Standing Stones / Walls 1:06 Reserves 1:19 Capstones 1:47 Roads 1:56 Capture 2:27 Smash 2:48 Stack 3:22 Captives / Prisoners 3:51 Carry Limit 4:35 Tinuë 5:21 Spread 5:37 Throw 6:06 Hard Capstone / Hard Cap 6:33 Soft Capstone / Soft Cap 6:56 Citadel 7:15 Momentum 7:32 Anchor Point 7:56 Capture War 8:23 Drawbridge 8:46 Other Resources Tak University is a series where I explain some tips and tricks about Tak that I've learned over the years to help new players gain a better understanding and give that little nudge into a higher-level of play. I hope to continue this series until I run out of things to talk about. So if you have any questions or topic suggestions, leave them below in the comments. If you're interested in Tak and want to learn more, check out the official rules at https://ustak.org/play-beautiful-game... or the How To Play video at    • How To Play Tak on Playtak   These games are played on https://www.playtak.com/ and I used a fork of the site, https://treffnonx.github.io/TakWeb/# , for my specific aesthetic preferences that you see on screen. Come check out the subreddit at   / tak   Or come where all the action is, the Tak Discord server -   / discord   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. We also have an Instagram! Where a picture of a new puzzle is posted each weekday on a physical board and then a video solution is posted later in the day. Go check out @Simmon_Tak on Instagram! We also have a Twitch channel! I'll try to be streaming while recording when possible.   / 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:   / simmon_tak
