In the summer of 1972, Reykjavik hosted the decisive match of the World Chess Championship: American Bobby Fischer challenged the reigning world champion, Boris Spassky from the Soviet Union. The match, hailed by the media as the most important sporting event of the Cold War, became an incredible thriller...and now you can be right in the middle of it.

In "Match of the Century", you play a series of games, just like in a real championship. Each game, however, only lasts a few, intense moves, so every decision is crucial to winning. By playing cards with unique effects from your asymmetrical decks, you manipulate each other's mental stamina and the outcome of each quick match. But think carefully about your choices, because only by giving up advantages can you use the cards' effects.
