About the game
What you do in a play session
If you think chess is a bit too quiet, get ready for Laser Chess! Originally released as Khet 2.0, this game takes classic strategic depth and throws a laser beam right into the mix. The concept is simple yet brain-bending: you and your opponent set up pieces equipped with mirrors at various angles. The goal? Fire a laser beam and make it ricochet until it hits the opponent's King. On your turn, you can move a piece, rotate a component 90 degrees, or even swap two adjacent pieces if one is a switch. The most exciting (and dangerous!) part is that after your move, you must fire the laser. If the beam hits a mirror, it deflects; if it hits a solid surface, that piece is removed from the board. But watch out for friendly fire! You might accidentally knock out your own pieces if you don't master the angles. There's also a clever defensive layer: certain pieces are immune to laser fire on one side, which can be a lifesaver for your King. It's a duel of reflexes, geometry, and pure cunning, perfect for those seeking a fast-paced and visually stunning rematch.
