Description
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.

9.1/10
Juego increiblemente tenso en el que a veces piensas que es imposible que puedas perder la ronda pero la pierdes y al viceversa.
9.0/10
Wow! It's so good. You really feel like your playing the matches of chess whithout playing them. Very good mechanics und works of the publisher.
9.0/10
Wow. This game really sucked me in. It was one of the most intense two player game experiences I ever had. In some way it's all about managing resources. How many pawns and mental fatigue is a victory worth at this moment. The decision about where to play a card is extremely hard to get right. When you have the initiative, you always feel at the mercy of the other player. Their response will be bad for you no matter what, it's only a question of how bad. And then it's their turn to play first and you do an evil laugh when they give you the perfect opportunity to play a strong effect.
9.0/10
An absolute masterclass in tactical sacrifice and psychological warfare. Paolo Mori captured the mental exhaustion of the 1972 Fischer vs. Spassky world championship with astonishing mechanical purity. The core dilemma is brilliant: winning an exchange advances your advantage marker, but losing an exchange triggers your card’s powerful asymmetric effect. Every card played forces you to decide whether to push for raw tempo or intentionally concede the sequence to harvest endurance, card draws, and tactical momentum. With zero dice, tight hand management, and razor-sharp stamina tracking across games, it stands alongside Undaunted and Splendor Duel as an undisputed Tier S duel.
