> In 2017 a company called "Thinkfun" acquired the license for the now out of print Khet 2.0 and rebranded the game "Laser Chess". Now with a new, modernized scifi look, it brings the exact same rules and feel of Khet 2.0 back to the table.

Hm.

I guess there is something about chessboard and lasers.

“Laser Chess” was also the name of a 1987 video game: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_Chess

Came here to post the same thing ;)
I was thinking the same thing - I've had a board for many years now. It was a pretty fun novelty back then, but I haven't touched it in a long time.
