📖 About This Game

Card game simulating the exciting back and forth of a tennis match. Scoring is similar to real tennis, complete with aces and smashes. Game play requires strategic timing of countering your opponent’s cards. Each card has a level of hierarchy, and choosing the right moment to play or keep each card in your hand presents a new challenge every turn. First player to win best of three sets (like in the physical sport of tennis), wins the game and receives a trophy card for each set won. Great family game for any tennis player or fan of the sport. It helps to know actual tennis scoring before starting a game, but can be picked up easily by anyone after a few tries - and can even help teach the sport itself.
