I especially enjoy playing well thought out games that require just enough strategy to keep everyone involved in the game.  <br><br>With this in mind I started working on Triathlon: A run-based family-friendly card game that is fun to play. Its unique game play and card sets require good thinking skills, and just enough cruelty, to make it a fun way to relax with family and friends (or, play with real triathlon competitors the night before the big race).<br><br>As for the name Triathlon:<br><br>For those of you who are into cycling or running in real triathlons, I am the youngest brother of Steven Hed. Steve was a great brother who also happened to be the inventor of HED wheels (the high-performance carbon fiber wheels you find on performance bicycles) and founder of HED Cycling Products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was as a tribute to my brother, to his work and his success in the world of cycling, that I first started working on a Triathlon-themed card game. What I ended up with is a game where you need to complete three stages to win, and the suits in the game are runners, swimmers, and cyclists, but that is where similarities end (this is not a triathlon simulation game).<br><br>For years, this game in its various forms has been enjoyed by family and friends. And now, after years of perfecting it, I am ready to share it with the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TRIATHLON Card Game is for those who like to play games that involve getting your cards into a run while preventing others from doing the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Triathlon: The game with lots of running, without the sweat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Triathlon is a family-friendly card game for 3 to 9 players.
