About the game

What is Set & Match?

Set & Match is the unique tennis game, recreating the sensations of a tennis game away from the court. The game mainly follows the rules of the game of tennis. Set & Match is a game of flicking. The board represents a tennis court, and players play with a ball pawn. On their turn, a player flicks the ball to the other side of the "net" and tries to make it reach areas that gives the most "pts". If a player scores enough "pts", they win the point. Points are scored as in a tennis game. The game ends when a player reaches the number of sets / games that was defined at the beginning of the game.
