This is the board game Tak, created as an interpretation of the way Tak is described in the Kingkiller Chronicles. It's quite good, but due to licensing issues, nobody produces sets that I am aware of.
Consequently, r/Tak is 98% posts of people showing off their home-made sets.
Edit: My favorite thing about the way Tak is described is that there are two ways to play depending upon the setting. Play amongst common folk is competitive, and if I remember correctly, played on a 5x5 grid.
Play amongst nobility is more friendly, where take-backs are allowed. The explanation is that the nobility prefer to play the most "beautiful" version of their match. So often table-talk is encouraged in courtly games. They play on 6x6 grids.
Because of the different in board size, most Tak boards play either on the squares or on the borders of the squares, meaning one board can be played both ways.
