The Game of Tennis

Play tennis with a pair of dice! An old game from Norrköping, Sweden.

Two dice are used, but only one when serving.

Right: 2, 3 (but not when serving), 5, 6 and 12. When playing double number 8 is also right.

Faulty: 3 (when serving), 4, 7, 8 (but OK when playing double), 10 and 11.

The match goes on until a player makes a mistake and the opponent gets points (15, 30, 40 and game). The ordinary rules of tennis are used.
