Description

This game comes with 4 special dice in 4 colors. They are rather big (2.4 cm or 1 inch per side).

Each die is different and has positive, negative or neutral results printed on:
- the white Serve-die: 1 positive, 2 negative, 3 neutral
- the green Forehand-die: 1 positive, 1 negative, 4 neutral
- the blue Backhand-die: 2 positive, 2 negative, 2 neutral
- the red Volley-die: 3 positive, 3 negative, 0 neutral

Scoring is done exactly like in professional Tennis. At the beginning and after each point, the "serving" player rolls the white Serve-die. Every following throw is done with one of the other dice - at player's choice.

The neutral results mostly mean, that the ball is played well and that the opponent must return. The exception for this is the Serve-die: a "net" (1x on the die) simply voids the throw, an "out" (2x on the die) is a little dangerous, because it can result in a double-fault.
