Welcome to the world of DEFLEXION, the game combines lasers with classic strategy for an experience enjoyed by all. Players alternate turns moving Egyptian themed mirrored pieces around the playing field after which they fire their laser diode thats similar to a laser pointer with the goal of illuminating their opponent's pieces to eliminate them from the game.  The object of the game is to illuminate your opponent’s pharaoh by bouncing your laser beam off the mirrored pieces and around the playing field. You can learn how to play in minutes.
 

1. Unlike chess or other games, Deflexion begins with the pieces spread over the board. In the box the pieces are set up in the CLASSIC starting configuration. As you become familiar with the game, you can invent your own starting configurations.

2. Deflexion is a quick and easy game to learn because all the pieces move in the same way, players take turns, each player moving only his/her own pieces. Gold 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.  

4. No gold piece can move into the silver column and no silver piece can move into the gold column.

5. Except for the djed piece, no piece can move into a square occupied by another piece.

6. The djed piece can move into a square occupied by a pyramid or an obelisk; 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. When a player has moved, s/he pushes his/her red button, sending the beam around the field. Once the laser has been fired, the move cannot be taken back. Gamers may not test where the beam will go by firing the laser before completing their moves!

8. When the player sends the laser beam around the field by deflection off mirrored surfaces, it will stop either on the wall of the field or on the non-mirrored surface of one of the pieces. If it stops on a pharaoh, the player whose pharaoh is illuminated 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 or not a piece is hit. Use of the laser beam to remove one of your own pieces is one tactic that can be used in an winning strategy.

9. If either beam in the laser system hits a pharaoh, the game ends and the winner is the player whose pharaoh was not hit. A player who hits his or her own pharaoh is out of luck.  

10. If the same arrangement appears on the games console board three times in a row, then the player making the next move can declare a draw.
