If you can imagine playing chess in a pyramid with lasers against a pharoh, then you're halfway to getting quite how brilliant the game of Khet is. Of course if you can imagine all that you're possibly halfway to la la land. This awesome board game is an absolute breakthrough both in technology - being the first board game to incorporate laser technology - and in sheer strategy and head bending fun-ness.
The object of the game is to maneuver your pieces (most of which have a mirrored side to them) around the board so that when you 'fire' the laser from your corner, it bounces around the pieces on the board and ultimately 'strikes' and lights up your opponents 'Pharoh' piece. There are four types of pieces; the Sacred Pharaoh, Obelisk, Pyramid and Djed column. Players go head to head and move the Egyptian themed pieces with their two, one or no mirrored (for blocking your opponents laser) surfaces. Silver starts the game and always goes first. Players then take turns to move any of their pieces including the Pharaohs around the board.
Strategy, lasers and ancient Egyptian stuff, it doesn't get better than this, and oh boy, just imagine playing this game in the dark.
- An Egyptian themed game with pyramids and lasers.
- Eqyptian themed playing pieces; the Sacred Pharaoh, Obelisk, Pyramid and Djed column.
- The pieces have either 2, 1 or no mirrored sides.
- The combination of mirrored surfaces and lasers equate to 'firing' in the game. Use the non mirrored pieces to block.
- Contains two Class I lasers (do not intently stare into the laser beams).
- Suitable for two players.
- Suitable for ages 9 years+.
- Requires 4 x AAA Batteries (not included).
- Size: 37cm x 46cm.

Brilliant gift
Bought this for a 12 year old chess enthusiast as a birthday present. He is totally obsessed with it and has since got his mum to buy him every accessory available. Trouble is he is so good at it no one will play with him so he has joined an online Khet club and is already an "expert" Totally an obsessive gift!!!!!!!

Batteries included, but...
I haven't played a game yet as I bought this as a gift. However, I wanted to say that I bought batteries for this as the listing said batteries weren't included. When it arrived the box said that the batteries were included. But one laser wasn't working so I opened it to change the batteries and discovered that the factory installed batteries were leaking. Luckily, after a quick clean up and installing new batteries the laser is working OK. (I wonder how many more times I can use the word 'batteries' in this review? That's seven times so far!!) I had a quick play around before wrapping it up and am looking forward to a proper game over Christmas. If it is as good a game as it seems then I maybe I should buy some spare batteries (8) just in case.

Just very cool!
Forget the comparisons to Chess, it's totally different and very addictive! Don't expect to actually see the laser beam along the board (as in all the pics) but it's still very cool when it hits a piece. Takes minutes to learn and you won't get bored of this one quickly.
