Buy on Amazon ↗The objective of laser chess is to eliminate your opponent's pharaoh piece by using lasers to strike it from a specific angle. The game is played on a square board divided into a grid of squares. Each player has a set of mirrored pieces with different shapes and orientations that can reflect the laser beam.
The challenge is to link the laser beam from a fixed point on the board, usually in one of the corners. Players take turns moving their pieces and rotating them to redirect the laser beam. The beam can reflect off the mirrored surfaces, change direction, and hit other pieces or the pharaoh.
The game incorporates chess-like movement rules, where each piece has its own unique way of moving. For example, there may be pieces that can move one square at a time, diagonal movers, or pieces that can jump over other pieces. The players strategically position their pieces to create a defence against the laser and plan attacks against the opponent's pharaoh.
The game ends when a laser hits an opponent's pharaoh piece, eliminating it from the game.
Laser chess provides a unique and engaging gameplay experience, combining elements of strategy, deduction, and spatial awareness. It requires players to think strategically about piece movement, laser reflection, and predicting the outcome of different scenarios.
