Toys and Games Reviews of Khet: The Laser Game
Customer Review: A Must Buy!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first viewed the game, my first impression was that it was a great concept, and could rival chess in its strategic gameplay, and overall ability to keep the consumer playing countless games, one after another.
Then I played it, and realized it's much more.
The creativity of the gameplay is much more open than chess is. It is far easier to learn the basics of Khet, but is very deep when it comes to mastery of the product. The more you play the game, the more you find it keeps pulling you back in.
Every holiday season, my family will now all gather around the Khet board for our own family tournament, and every season Khet always delivers alot of fun and good times.
Customer Review: It's chess with lasers!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this game. I played it once at my sister's house and I went home and ordered it immediately.
This is an excellent game of strategy that reminds me chess. It takes a lot of thought and planning. Most importantly, it's secretly educational: you learn the underlying principle of light reflection by working with it directly. If you get the additional pieces, the Eyes of Horus, they allow for reflection and refraction which adds an additional level of difficultly (or so I'm told). To make the game even more challenging, you can work in teams. It's difficult to discuss strategy when the other team is right there so you have to be cryptic about it. Anyway, it's a wonderful game!
Customer Review: Khet
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a family favorite. Since it involves lasers, it's a really good idea for kids and it's somewhat educational about geometry. I also recommend the expensions Khet - Eye of Horus Beamsplitter Expansion Pack Khet 3D: Tower of Kadesh. I received this for christmas a couple years ago and nothing has happened to it yet, even though it has been treated fairly roughly by many young children. I think this is a great game for adults and kids alike.Customer Review: Great Game - Quality luck of the draw
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a favorite game to play with my 7 year old. Game is easy to learn yet is challenging at the same time. Great strategy game with the average length of play well within my son's attention span when playing best out of three.
Game would rate 5 stars if it wasn't for the lack of quality control. We did not have alignment issues but every mirror was filthy and had to be cleaned before attempting to play. Some pieces had to have the rough edges smoothed to fit properly in the board squares.
That said, I would purchase again and find the $40 price tag well worth it for such an innovative game.

Khet is good times. I have never once had any issue with its durability or design. The laser goes where it is supposed to, every time.
The ONE GUY who says this game is made poorly likely dropped his on the floor before opening it and is now upset that he cannot get a refund for something that HE did to his game set.
I have played this game with my 11 year old nephew and my 91 year old grandfather and they both loved it.
I have played roughly 500 matches of Khet on my game set and have yet to experience a mechanical malfunction.
Take from that what you will.
