Khet continues to reach around the globe making it all the way to Iraq entertaining our troops overseas:

"Just wanted to let you know that we received a copy of Khet (recently Deflexion) here at Balad Air Base in Iraq and we're having a lot of fun with it! There are only 3 of us in the picture but there are about a dozen of us who play regularly. As more people see the game, they are thrilled by the concept. We are having a lot of fun with it; as one pair of people have a showdown there are always people waiting to play when they finish. Thanks for a great game!
