Biathlon (1980)

This is a simple roll and move game simulating a biathlon race. The 58-space track includes spaces where players fall or break their skis, delaying progress. There also are two firing line spaces where players must pause to shoot out three targets. This winter-sports game was published in 1980, the same year that the Soviet Union hosted the much-boycotted summer Olympics. The publishing information on the box says 20,000 copies were produced, and that the retail price of the game was 78 kopeks.
