About the game
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
