Legends Quartet

What happens when top players of tennis meet - clear game, set and match? Not so fast! Susanne "La Divine" Lenglen has just won against Rod "The Rocket" Laver, while Steffi Graf chases Roy Emerson across the court from the baseline ... or is it? Advantage for the (quartet) players who know the key figures: Legends Quartet Tennis lists the number of matches, titles and Grand Slam wins, as well as the tennis pro's win percentage and how long he's been ranked. And suddenly every duel is good for a surprise again.

40 cards, 40 top international athletes in each discipline - and no two duels are the same. Who will triumph? In keeping with the well-known peculiarity of sport - anything is possible - clashes with extremely unusual outcomes develop when Boom Boom Boris competes against "Mother Freedom" Billie Jean King or Miguel "The Extraterrestrial" Indurain is pitted against Louison "Zonzon" Bobet. The rules of the Super Trump Quartet game are not difficult to figure out: The card with the higher-value code wins. Unexpectedly, even the greatest representatives of their sport are not necessarily as unbeatable as one initially assumed. It quickly becomes clear once again: after the game is before the game.

As outstanding as the achievements of the respective sports legends are, as unusual are their likenesses. Renowned artists from Switzerland and Germany are responsible for the illustrations of the quartet of legends. Grouped into ten teams of four team members each, the cards not only highlight the athletes' characteristics. Rather, they illustrate in a special way the diverse approaches that modern art has to offer. In other words, you can't just play with the cards. You can also simply enjoy looking at them.
