Khet game teases your brain

If you’re sick and tired of chess being the only boardgame in your home, perhaps checking out Khet would be a good idea. Touted to be the first board game that incorporates laser technology, Khet requires you to maneuver your pieces around the board while trying to ‘fire’ a laser from your corner and striking your opponent’s Pharaoh piece. With four different types of pieces available (Sacred Pharaoh, Obelisk, Pyramid, and Djed column), there is more than enough depth of strategy to keep you occupied for a long time to come. Powered by a quartet of AAA batteries, Khet retails for $63.
