About the game
Worldwide Tennis is that game that makes you feel like a pro tennis player without leaving your couch. Each card in your hand represents a classic tennis shot - powerful serve, precise volley, strategic lob or even a sneaky drop shot. On your turn, you choose your move based on your court position (yes, you gotta think about that!) and how much risk you're willing to take. Want to attempt a spectacular smash? Cool, but you'll have to roll the die to see if it works - just like real tennis where even the best miss. The game captures the tension of an actual match: you score points by making winning shots or forcing your opponent to error. The key to victory? Managing your cards like a champ. There are two difficulty levels, matches that can be quick (15 minutes) or more intense, a solo mode to practice alone, and even four different court types, each with its quirks. You can really feel the difference between playing on clay and grass!
