It's one of those games that is extremely well balanced. My friend and I were comfortable with the rules after about fifteen minutes, and had three or four games of increasing complexity and interest.
After one night, I am hooked. I absolutely love this game. I thought it might be a bit of a gimmick, but it's actually a thoroughly absorbing strategic battle.
The problem, as with so many of these games, is online support. What I need is an online resource where I can practice, but I can't find anything that's remotely decent. I was just wondering, would chess.com ever consider hosting Khet? The idea of playing this brilliant game on a website of this quality is very appealing.
So the other day I bought Khet, and it arrived in the post yesterday. For those of you who do not know it, here's a good video intro:
