HOW TO PLAY KHET:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Khet is for only two players. Players may withdraw and be replaced at any time by other players. To play Khet, simply click on the board. You will be presented with a menu.
1) To start the game, you must click Setup on the menu and choose a starting board layout. Then both players must choose Play to join the game.
2) Players take turns, each player moving only his/her own pieces. Silver always moves first. All the pieces, including Pharaohs can be moved.
3) A turn consists of moving a piece one square in any direction [including diagonally] or of rotating a piece 90 degrees without changing squares. A piece cannot be moved and rotated on the same turn or rotated more than 90 degrees on one turn. To do this, simply touch the piece you wish to move or rotate. You will be presented with a menu of options. DOWN is always towards your own home row.
4) No red piece can move into the silver squares and no silver piece can move into the red squares.
5) Except for the Djed piece (see pictures above), no piece can move into a square occupied by another piece.
6) The Djed piece can move into a square occupied by Pyramid or an Obelisk of either color; the Pyramid or Obelisk then goes to the square the Djed piece started from. In other words, the Djed piece can swap places with an adjacent Pyramid or Obelisk, but not with a Pharaoh or another Djed piece. Neither piece rotates.
7) The Obelisks have the power to stack or unstack on top of each other. In the stacked configuration the player may either move the stacked Obelisks as one unit one square in any direction or unstack the top Obelisk moving it one square in any direction while leaving the bottom Obelisk in its place. If a stacked Obelisk is hit, only the top Obelisk is removed from play leaving the bottom Obelisk to remain in its position on the board. You can only stack once, so there are no triple or quadruple stacks allowed. Only Obelisks of the same color may be stacked.
When a player has moved, either by rotating or moving a playing piece, their laser is automatically fired, sending the beam around the field. The laser can not be 'test fired' to see where it will hit. All moves are final. The laser will always bounce off of mirrors at 90 degree angles.9) When the laser is fired, it will stop either on the wall of the board or on the non-mirrored surface of one of the pieces. If it stops on a Pharaoh, the player whose Pharaoh is destroyed loses the game. If it stops on any other piece, that piece is removed from the board [even if it is the player's own piece]. The laser is fired only once a turn. The turn is over whether a piece is hit or not.
10) The game ends when the laser hits a Pharaoh. The winner is the player whose Pharaoh wasn't hit. A player who hits his or her own Pharaoh is out of luck.
11) The winner gets an ancient Egyptian temple resurrected over the board in their honor, bearing the winner's colors on the obelisks.
BETTING:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Khet supports a basic betting pot. Both players can pay into the pot in whatever amount they agree upon during the game, winner takes all. If the game is reset before it has concluded, bets are refunded to their respective better, assuming the player is still an active member of the game.
Khet is 100% legal within the SecondLife TOS concerning wagering and gambling, as it has no element of chance at all.
