Worldwide Tennis is a board game released in 2020 for 1–2 players, 15–90 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Guillaume Luton and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Dice Rolling, and Simulation.
Worldwide Tennis is a card game that puts you directly in the thick of a tennis match. Each card represents a stroke (serve, drop short, lob, volley, smash...). On your turn, choose a card to play according to your position on the court and the level of risk you want to take. If you take a risky move, throwing a dice will be required to validate your stroke ! Like in real tennis, you win the point if you make a winner or if your opponent hits the ball out. Only a wise management of your hand will lead you to victory! Features : 2 difficulty levels, adaptable duration (minimum 15'), a solo mode and 4 different surfaces with their specific gameplay. —description from the designer
Worldwide Tennis supports 1–2 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Worldwide Tennis is 15–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Worldwide Tennis for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Worldwide Tennis has a complexity rating of 1.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
