Match of the Century*
In the summer of 1972, the Chess World Championship finale in Reykjavik featured an epic showdown between American Bobby Fischer and Soviet champion Boris Spassky. Players compete in a series of quick and intense games, where every decision is crucial for victory. By playing cards with unique effects from asymmetrical decks, each player attempts to manipulate the other's mental endurance and influence the outcome, requiring careful consideration of when to relinquish the advantage to activate their cards.
