Triathlon Series is the first in a series of board games dedicated to non-professional athletes. Produced by Romania-based AfterRace Games, a ‘creative shop of sports-minded people & triathletes’, the Triathlon Series game aims to encourage the get-together of sports-minded friends that talk about the same subjects: ‘how to train and maintain a a healthy lifestyle, either related to fitness, relationships, stress management or brain fitness’.
Triathlon Series was launched in 2016 and is now rolling out internationally! The game invites players to… ‘become an amateur triathlete struggling to find the time for training and steady your mental and energy state to be as ready as you possible can for the race. Your objective is to be the first at the finish line.’ During the two stages of the game – training and race – players have to develop the necessary skills (swim, bike, run) and the personal expertise (strength and mindfulness) in order to choose the right strategy.
All the choices made by the player, the way to manage time, measure energy and keep motivation strong, as well as physical strength, have a direct influence on performance during the game. As AfterRace Games adds… ‘Train continuously, develop intelligent tactics, become one body and mind and your winning chances will grow exponentially.’
The company continues… ‘Triathlon Series is also a friendly way of introducing sports to children and to encourage them to practice athletic activities.’
