Abstract
A game board includes a tennis court with a net line across the center and boundary lines outlining the playing and serving areas. The court is divided into a grid with horizontal and vertical coordinates to indicate the particular locations of the ball and players. Various selective cards and tiles determine the serving, hitting and positioning of the ball and movement of the players to simulate an actual game of tennis. Player markers, a ball marker and scoring markers follow the positions on the court and the scores of the opponents.
