Customer Evaluations
The only comparison I can definitely make is to chess, but Khet is less complicated to learn, and it's less difficult to consider a couple of moves ahead. There are distinctive beginning arrangements you can use to add selection, and for the reason that the pieces get started spread around the board, you can get down to enterprise proper away, compared to the slow starts of chess. The pieces' various abilities are developed by their physical shapes, rather than being able to move several distances and directions as in chess, so the guidelines are pretty effortless. There are only four varieties of pieces, and they all move the similar way. But in spite of the basic rules, this is a difficult game for all ages. Later on if you feel the require to kick it up a notch, the Eye of Horus and Tower of Kadesh expansions will make it even extra thoughts-bending.
Quick rules:
1) Pieces are eliminated by hitting them on a non-mirrored side (which includes your personal pieces if you're not careful), with the goal getting to get rid of your opponent's pharaoh (the laser causes pieces to glow when hit on a non-mirrored side, which is fairly cool)
2) Each and every turn you can move a piece 1 square, or rotate a mirrored piece 90 degrees. Only two particular points to maintain track of:
2a) Obelisks might possibly be stacked two-high and moved as a stack
2b) The Djed piece can swap locations with an obelisk or pyramid (of either color) that is blocking its path
Like other reviewers I'd be prepared to spend way more for a version that was far better aligned, but don't be discouraged. It's fantastic for five-7 bounces depending on slight variations in the pieces, and paths of over 5 bounces do not appear to happen that commonly. This is for the reason that longer paths take longer to set up and are simpler to disrupt. Quite often paths longer than five bounces occur on accident.
You also don't have to have to be concerned too considerably about breaking the mirrors. I'm positive you could do it if you tried, but the plastic frames offer fairly fantastic protection.
I got this game for my birthday (I'm 35) and I adore it! It is like a high-tech version of chess. Most certainly tends to make you think hard and attempt to plot out your moves a lot of methods in advance. It is specifically tricky considering that you have to simultaneously assume offensively and defensively. If you like classic strategic boardgames, you are going to like this game.
