Chess for Physics Geeks

I recently won DEFLEXION from a contest on the DICE TOWER (you know, that sophmoric, unprofesional podcast starring Joe and Tom?) The game is played like chess, sort of, in that you have some hierarchial pieces (a king-like piece called the Pharaoh) you are trying to defend. The nifty bit is the capture. You are trying to move your mirror pieces around on the board one square at a time, or rotate them a quarter turn at the end of the turn you hit the laser to see if you have nailed the Pharaoh.

Deflexion is a blast, and if you're patient you can teach your kids a few things about optics and lasers. Click on the box below to see a little movie about Delfexion.



Many thanks, Tom and Joe!!!
