What is Match of the Century

In the summer of 1972, the final match of the World Chess Championship in Reykjavik saw the ultimate showdown: American Bobby Fischer challenged the reigning world champion, Boris Spassky from the Soviet Union. Touted by the media as the most important sporting event of the Cold War, an incomparable thriller unfolded...and now, you can be right in the middle of it.

In Match of the Century, you play one another over a series of games, just as in a real championship match. However, here each game lasts only a few short and intense turns, so every decision counts in pulling off the win. As you play cards with unique effects from your asymmetrical decks, each of you manipulates the mental endurance of the other and the outcome of each quick game, but weigh your options carefully because only by giving up the advantage can you use your cards' effects.

Juego de cartas, que trata de simbolizar un set de partidas de ajedrez por el campeonato mundial entre Bobby fisher y otro que no recuerdo. Está curioso. Es un juego de tira y afloja.

Juego de gestión de mano con una temática (ajedrez) muy bien implementada.
