keys to grow or shrink the magnifying window.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.

Customer Reviews for Khet Laser Game
Khet Laser Game
I recieved this game recently from IWOOT. I have to say: It is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
The pieces are very sturdy, and the mirrors are crystal clean. The outside of the game board is decorated around the side with ancient egyptian symbols. Also, the game is MUCH bigger tan you expect it to be - I thought that it would be a chess board size, but it is actually almost 1/2 a meter squared!!
There are two sets of coloured pieces (one red, one silver). Though the red ones light up more when struck b y the laser, the silver ones give a mysterious glowing effect.
It works really well if you play in the dark.
Despite the fact that te game is excellent, there are two things that you should know:
? The path of the laser cannot be seen - you can see where the laser hits (and wgere it bounces off the mirrors), but not where it actuall ends.*
? Secondly, if you want to make the game more fun, oyu can purchase "Eye Of Horus Beem Splitters" - These split the beam in half, giving you a harder and more complex game!!
* you can see the lasers if you use fog/smoke machines...
Khet is an excellent game - which I rate 10 out of 10!!
