It's cool, because it has lasers. It's fun because this game combines geometric thinking, tactics, and strategy and many unexpected move opportunities taking advantage of your own and your opponents pieces.
My son has pointed out quite a few parallels between the tactics of Deflexion and the tactics of chess including: pins, forks, interposition, and discovered attacks.
We are just scratching the surface of figuring out longer term strategies and defense, and our games usually end in a surprise win, which for now just adds to the suspense and fun. (via ThinkGeek)

Combine classic strategy with the physics of lasers and optics to master this game of skill.
Egyptian themed pieces with one, two, or no mirrored surfaces move about the game board in any number of directions, including rotation by 1/4 twists. Each turn ends by firing a laser beam built into the board which bounces from mirror to mirror on a series of pieces.
When the beam finally lands on a non-mirrored surface, that piece is removed from play. In maneuvering each piece, the aim is to illuminate your opponent's pharaoh and eliminate them from the game, while shielding your own pharaoh from harm.
Designed for two players ages nine and up, the game comes with required batteries.

I like abstract games a good bit, but I'm not one of those who say they are his favorite types of games. This one is fantastic...and yes I have to say it...LASERS!

What I like about this is, if you lose and get mad, you can blast your opponent with the laser! (via Barb)
