FRIDAY NIGHT GAME SOCIAL: KHET Friday, December 21, 2012 - 18:00 to 20:00 Free - book below Join us at this Friday Night GAME Social that will appeal to those of you who like to combine strategy games with... lasers! Khet is an abstract strategy board game in which two players fire lasers to strike and remove Egyptian-themed game pieces from the board. Most of the pieces are mirrored on one or more sides, allowing players to alter the trajectory of the laser beam each time it is fired by changing the position of the playing pieces. When a piece is struck by a laser on a non-mirrored side, it is eliminated from the game. The object is to hit your opponent's pharaoh with a laser, thereby claiming victory, all the while protecting your own king.
