Laser Chess

For two people who have played enough ordinary chess and would rather argue about light.

Oddity 1 is familiar. 5 is genuinely strange.

A two-player chess set in which the pieces are mirrors. You win by bouncing a laser onto the other player's king.

Three reasons

  1. The pieces move, and the beam moves with them. Strategy and optics are the same turn.
  2. It is a finished game, not a kit, and it is meant for two.
  3. The link is the ThinkFun Laser Chess, model 76350, not a laser maze and not a bundle.
