This ThinkFun Laser Chess Game was a top pick at the 2018 Toy Fair, approved by parents. It's a thrilling two - player strategy game that blends chess's spatial thinking with the high - tech excitement of laser beams. Players take turns moving mirrored pieces on the board. At the end of each turn, fire a real laser. The laser bounces off mirrors, and if it hits a non - mirrored part of a piece, that piece is out. Illuminate your opponent's King and you win! Comes with 26 playing pieces (including 2 lasers), a game board, and instructions. Recommended for ages 8 and up.
How to play: Set up the game board and place the 26 playing pieces, including the 2 lasers, on it. Decide who goes first. Players then take turns moving their mirrored pieces around the board. At the end of your turn, fire the laser from your laser piece. Watch as the laser beam bounces off the mirrors. If the beam hits a non - mirrored surface of any piece, remove that piece from the game. The goal is to illuminate your opponent's King. Once you do, you win the game. Things to note: Keep the lasers away from eyes to avoid injury. Don't point the lasers at people or animals. Maintenance: Wipe the game board and pieces with a soft, dry cloth to keep them clean. Store the game in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent damage to the pieces and the board.
