Ref: Mezzanine names a new level to KhetExternal Link

Khet (was formerly known as Deflexion) is game utilizing mirror-mounted pawns and a beam of laser light. The game is not complicated but its appearance and its concept are attractive to everyone. When the game first debuted in 2005, I grabbed the chance to purchase one from its first shipment. It was a limited production run, until now the game made a great success to secure its business.

Due to trademark issues, the game Deflexion was renamed to Khet in 2006 to avoid any court settlement. The new name also brought the game a new face. The new black and red design is quite eye-catching. There was also a tiny expansion released in 2006. That was a beam-splitter. Sounds cool.

Today I read something about the New York Toy Fair 2007, and found Mezzanine. Mezzanine is another expansion for Khet. I have not thought the possibility of an expansion for Khet like this. It raises a new level to the base game. If you look at the picture above, you can find the base board is Khet. The center tower and the upper level board are brought by the expansion. Now the laser beam may travel through the tower up and then back to the base to attack a pawn. It's a production with courage and creativity.
