Toys and Games Reviews of Khet: The Laser Game
Customer Review: Great Game For All Ages.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great game for all ages. My husband used Khet in his classroom with middle schoolers and they loved it. It uses some of the same strategy as chess (thinking a few moves ahead). It is also fun for adults. You can play it again and again using different starting formations and strategies, always learning something new along the way. *if you take this game to a bar and blow smoke onto the gameboard during you turn, you can see the path of the laser. you can also create this affect with dry ice/fog machine if you don't like smoke. it's kind of cool.Customer Review: Excellent gift or family game
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased Khet for my youngest son last Christmas. What a wild and challenging game. I'm a chess player and enjoy an occasional game of checkers and Othello, but this is one game that just gets me. Very challenging, but easy enough for child. In fact, my son beats me at it much of the time. Definitely a game for the young and nimble mind! Just trying to keep track of all variables to protect your men while attempting to attack your opponent is mind blowing! I'd would certainly recommend this game to any parent or grandparent. Fun for all ages.Customer Review: Great game but quality of actual pieces very low
Summary: 4 Stars
The game overall is really good. However the quality of the production of the game is really low. Unlike a chess set you would never want to leave this on display the pieces are made of cheap plastic and one of my sphinx pieces broke on arrival. They were quick to send a replacement however. It's also quite large, much larger than I was expecting. It would be nice if they would create a wood or metal set that was smaller.
I've been giving some thought to simply building my own board and set because the game itself is good.
Customer Review: Multi-Layered Strategies
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the only board games I have ever seen that appeals to both novice and advanced levels of play. The game and strategies involved seem to evolve quite rapidly as your experience and comfort with the game progress. I hate to give it the old "fun for all ages," but it really is. We've recently spent much more on Wii games that proved far less thought provoking and satisfying. I would recommend this game to any parents wanting to pull their children (and life) away from the television.Customer Review: Chess for the 21st Century
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent strategy game. Moves, including just rotation of a peice, van have serious consequences. The various configuration of starting positions keep any single strategy from consistently being successful. Just started using it and my son (age 7) and I are anxious to continue experimenting. No doubt the "cool factor" of a laser game has some effect in his enthusiasm, but he's learning strategy well. The company also quickly replaced a defective game without any problems. Highly recommended
