Match of the Century, board game, for 2 players, from 10 years (DE edition)

In the summer of 1972, the ultimate showdown took place in the final match of the World Chess Championship in Reykjavik, when the US American Bobby Fischer challenged the reigning World Champion Boris Spasski from the Soviet Union. What had already been dubbed by the media as the most important sporting event of the Cold War actually developed into an incomparable thriller on both a sporting and political level ...

As befits a real title match, the players in Match of the Century compete against each other in several chess games. However, each game lasts only a few short, intense moves, making each decision extra weighty. By playing cards with unique effects from their asymmetrical decks, they influence their mental stamina and the outcome of each quick game. But only those who forgo their own advantage at times can use their cards effectively.

This tactical card game for 2 perfectly captures the spirit of the famous chess competition from 1972. There's nothing like the rewarding feeling of triggering a card effect at just the right moment to checkmate the opponent who is sure of victory.

Caution. Not suitable for children under 36 months.
