Khet Laser Game 2.0 : Khet Laser Game 2.0

This game is such a fun challenge to my. Love it !

I bought this for multiple reasons and am very happy with my purchase. 1. I have a 3-year-old child whom we are always trying to get into something. I wanted to have a game to use his intellect and creativity and this is something that he can grow with and the substance of the game can change over time. 2. I love chess and what it does from an intellectual standpoint. However, this encompassed bringing that game and merging it with my tech side which was awesome!. Then to add to it the African/Khet side of things was just too hard to pass up. I definitely recommend this game to add to the collection!

Very fun strategy game. Like a slightly more complicated chess game.

Thanks

This is a fantastic game and was in great condition.

got this for my nephew for Christmas.....he absolutely loves it......

This game is great

I ordered new but the game came with acrinkled instruction book, dented box and the batteries were dead. The game itself is fun

Khet Laser Game 2.0: A Brilliant Fusion of Strategy and Spectacle The world of abstract strategy games is dominated by classics like Chess and Go, but every so often, a new contender emerges that manages to innovate while honoring the genre's intellectual roots. Khet Laser Game 2.0 is precisely that game—a dazzling, modern masterpiece that successfully blends the cerebral challenge of a strategy game with the sheer spectacle of real, working lasers. The Innovation: Strategy with a Beam of Light What immediately sets Khet 2.0 apart is its core mechanic: the use of a laser beam to capture pieces. The objective, like Chess, is to eliminate your opponent's most important piece, the Pharaoh. However, instead of simply moving a piece onto a square, you must manipulate the laser's path using mirrored pieces. This is where the game truly shines. Each turn involves a move and a mandatory fire of the laser. Players must think not just about where their pieces are going, but how their movement will affect the trajectory of the laser beam. It transforms the board into a dynamic, geometric puzzle. Pieces like the Pyramid and the Djed have mirrored surfaces that reflect the beam at a 90-degree angle, while the Scarab can swap places with an adjacent piece, creating unexpected defensive or offensive opportunities. "Khet 2.0 is a surprisingly good strategy game that in some respects plays very much like Chess. The board is set up... to eliminate your opponent's Pharaoh." Deep Strategy, Simple Rules Despite the high-tech gimmick, the rules of Khet 2.0 are remarkably simple and easy to learn, making it accessible to a wide range of players. The goal is clear, and the movement of the pieces is uniform, reducing the initial cognitive load often associated with abstract games. This simplicity belies a profound strategic depth. The game constantly forces players to consider multiple layers of consequence: 1 Movement: Where can I move my piece to gain a positional advantage? 2 Rotation: How can I rotate my piece to set up a shot or block an incoming one? 3 Laser Path: What is the final destination of the laser beam after all reflections, and will it hit my Pharaoh or an opponent's piece? This multi-layered thinking leads to intense, satisfying "Aha!" moments when a player successfully executes a complex, multi-reflection attack. It rewards forward-thinking and spatial reasoning in a way few other games can match. A Visually Stunning Experience Beyond the gameplay, Khet 2.0 is a beautifully designed product. The Egyptian-themed pieces are visually striking, and the act of firing the laser is a moment of pure, satisfying drama. The red beam slicing across the board, reflecting off mirrors, and finally illuminating a target piece is a fantastic visual payoff that elevates the entire experience. It's a game that draws spectators and is a guaranteed conversation starter. Conclusion Khet Laser Game 2.0 is a must-have for fans of abstract strategy and anyone looking for a game that is both intellectually stimulating and genuinely fun. It successfully bridges the gap between classic strategy and modern innovation, offering a unique, engaging, and visually spectacular experience. It's easy to learn but difficult to master, ensuring it will remain a favorite on your game shelf for years to come. It is, without a doubt, a brilliant fusion of strategy and spectacle.

Really nice board game - with a unique laser feature! There are also extra add-ons pieces to purchase, to increase the gaming difficulty and step up those tactics for players. The rules are simple and learnt in seconds. There are a few different set-ups, as well as your own once you're familiar - then you're good to go. However, I do think it is wildly overpriced - it's just plastic at the end of the day, no wooden or metal parts. But its design and play value allow it to (just barely) justify the price tags.

Das Spiel ist super!! Man muss auch kein Schach-Genie sein, um die Regeln zu lernen, da die Regeln kinderleicht sind. Das Komplexe ist im Grunde, dass man nicht nur seine Züge sehen sollte, sondern auch die des Gegners. Und das ist nicht wie beim Schach. Denn allein eine simple Drehung einer Figur kann entscheidend sein. Und wenn man Mist gebaut hat, dann schießt man selbst die eigene Figur (den "König") ab. Und andererseits macht es manchmal Sinn, eigene Figuren (die Pyramiden) abzuschießen. Das Spiel lässt sich sehr gut in halbdunklen Kneipen spielen. Nicht nur, weil es riesen Spaß macht und im dunkeln besser leuchtet, sondern auch, weil man darauf angesprochen wird wie in etwa "Ist das sowas wie Schach?", "Was ist das Ziel des Spiels?" oder "Ist das kompliziert?". In einer Kneipe hat der Wirt sogar Fotos gemacht und meinte "Das muss ich auch haben!!". Die Erweiterung "Eye of Horus" hab ich mittlerweile auch. Aber damit muss man dann wirklich tierisch aufpassen, was man macht. 1a Kaufempfehlung für Strategiespieler.

Ein wirklich kluges um die Ecke Denkspiel, dass einen ganz stark in den Bann zieht. Allerdings könnte es hochwertiger verarbeitet sein, da ich eigentlich kein Plastikfan bin. Aber das Spiel ist für Schachfreunde sehr spannend und macht enorm Spaß.

Also, wer sich nicht für das Spiel interessiert und vom Trailer angetan ist, wird es sich eh nicht kaufen, wer aber doch, der ist auch nicht enttäuscht. Nette Plastik Optik, aber nicht billig, schweres Spielfeld, englisches Bebildertes Regelwerk (also wirklich, wer Artikel von getDigital kauft, sollte Englisch können) und deutsches, schlecht übersetztes Regelwerk. Alles in allem schnell aufgebaut, schnell erklärt aber wenn sie beide Parteien konzentrieren nicht schnell gespielt. Dass es immer auf ein Remi hinausläuft habe ich nie erlebt, denn irgendwann muss man eben zum Angriff gehen oder machen einen Fehler. Klar kann man den Pharao easy abschotten, jedoch gewinnt man so auch nicht - ich würde also die Spielzüge lieber anders einsetzen. Die Erweiterung "Horus" macht auf jeden Fall Lust auf mehr, werde ich mir auch bald holen. PS: Wer rote Strahlen wie im Video erwartet, wird natürlich enttäuscht - Licht ist unsichtbar - dann müsste man schon immer Rauch auf Spielfeld pusten. Dagegen wenn eine Statue getroffen wird, leuchtet sich schön rot auf - bei gedimmten Licht eine besonders gute Spielerfahrung.
