Gate of Aqebi Expansion for Khet 1.0

thingiverse

This is a new expansion for Khet 1.0: The Gate of Aqebi. My original inspiration was to make a game piece that could block like an Obelisk or hide from the laser by rotating. However, researching Egyptian gates led me to the Book of Gates and its writings about the Gate of Aqebi (http://www.ancientegyptonline.co.uk/bookgates2.html). This inspired a different set of rules. Rules 1) The Gate of Aqebi replaces Obelisks and Anubis game pieces. Place it wherever these pieces would normally be during setup. 2) The Gate of Aqebi moves like Obelisks and Anubis: one space or 90 degrees rotation. 3) The Gate of Aqebi is unremovable from the game. If a laser hits its side, the gate must rotate 90 degrees immediately after the laser stops, blocking it for this turn. This movement doesn't count as a player's turn; it's an automatic action. 4) If the laser passes through the gate, the gate won't automatically rotate. Remove any hit pieces normally. That's it! I think this expansion has potential for exciting game play. Ask me any questions or come up with alternate house rules in comments. Instructions Print and glue the gate to the base. Print both upside down for support-free printing. I printed with 20% fill at 100 mm/s on my Ulitmaker 1.0 in red and silver PLA.
