Khet is a
chess-like
abstract strategy board game using lasers that was formerly known as
Deflexion. Players take turns moving
Egyptian-themed pieces around the playing field, firing their low-powered
laser diode after each move. Most of the pieces are mirrored on one or more sides, allowing the players to alter the path of the laser through the playing field. When a piece is struck by a laser on a non-mirrored side, it is eliminated from the game. A few elements of the gameplay, therefore, are slightly similar to the computer game
Laser Chess.
