The serve radar reads 139 mph and the ball catches the service line before flying past your opponent. Ace! 15 – 40. Now if you can make just three more. It’s only the beginning, the first game, and you are already in a deep hole. No matter you. You step up to the basline and get ready to toss the ball...” Presentation Passing Shot is a dice game for two, that simulates a Tennis game in which each player takes a role of a Tennis Player.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
