The Bone Games web site recently announced the beta testing of a new title, Marathon. Marathon is a race game for between 2 and 6 players. Players take the role of gods, secretly influencing six heroes as they strive to complete the mythical Marathon race. You must use subtlety when influencing your hero, because once a god’s favorite hero is known, the other gods will work to thwart him. The god whose favorite has moved the furthest wins the game at the end. The beta test is available as a PDF file.

Marathon will be released as a “freely available game” that you can download, print out, cut out the cards and pieces, and play.
Marathon is a race game in which players take on the role of gods who influence the competitors in subtle ways. Players try to help their heroes reach the finish line first. BoneGames believes that the game can be learned and played in about an hour.
