Abstract Games

I recently discovered Tak and I’m absolutely fascinated by it! Its beauty, simplicity, and layers of complexity are truly captivating. I’ve even started crafting my own wooden version.

Back in the 90s, I played competitive chess (regional level). However, during my university years, I discovered GO, which was a refreshing change from the repetitive positions and memory-based openings in chess. Bye bye chess. But GO requires several lifetimes to master, and eventually, I drifted away from both games.

Now, I’m on the lookout for new abstract games. Tak is the only one I’ve found so far. Have I missed any great abstract games designed for online play? It could be a great combination for a game in the category.
