From the box: "A game of chance and skill simulating lawn tennis".
In point of fact, chance definitely takes the upper hand over skill here: players try to position serves and returns but the outcome of every shot (and the players' positions on the court as well!) is determined by a set of 5 6-sided dice. The probability of winning a rally for either player stays pretty much the same regardless of his/her choices.
The game board, representing a tennis court with scoring tables, is quite neat though.
The box contains:
1 playing board of two interlocking halves
5 dice:
- service (yellow)
- in/out (white)
- stroke (white)
- singles position (light blue)
- doubles position (green)
4 purple scoring tokens
1 purple player token (large)
4 green scoring tokens
1 green player token (large)
1 yellow ball token
1 set of rules
Year of publication is unsure (not reported on rules booklet), but box features Boris Becker and Gabriela Sabatini in their prime, so late Eighties would be a reasonable guess.
