Since 1896, masochists around the world have raced each other in an event that killed its first participant: the Marathon!
In 26.2: The Marathon Dice Game, players simultaneously choose how many dice to roll and roll them for points (with each point representing 1/10th of a mile). The more dice they roll, the more points they may score, but it also increases the chances of busting out and scoring no points that turn. However, rehydrating via water tokens helps mitigate this risk. The first player to reach 262 points wins!
