That’s right, a game of strategy with frickin’ lasers. Mine eyes have seen the glory.
I bought this game years ago, maybe in 2003 or so, and I believe it was called “Reflection” or something like that. I bought it as it was being produced, I think, and it was available from this tiny little site. One of those where you’re not really sure if you going to see anything after you make the purchase.
The concept is still the same, but it’s been given a story line, and is now available at Think Geek, one of my favorite retailers. The story goes that Khet was a popular ancient Egyptian game, so the object of the game is now to eliminate the competing pharaoh. You do this by aligning the mirrored playing pieces so that the frickin’ laser you shoot from your home base bounces from mirrored piece to mirrored piece, and ending up on the opponent’s pharaoh. In the way of your frickin’ laser are non-mirrored pieces, but one hit from your frickin’ laser, and those pieces are removed.
Simple and fun. Think Geek also offers an expansion pack: Eye of Horus Beam Splitters. So now you have to track multiple beams. Sort of like Tridimensional Star Trek Chess.
