Track Meet is a vintage board game published by Sports Illustrated Games in the 1970s. It's a simulation of the Olympic Decathlon, where players compete as one of seven real medal-winning decathletes: Jim Thorpe, Bob Matthias, Vasily Kuznetsov, Milt Campbell, Rafer Johnson, CK Yang, and Bill Toomey. There's also a fictional 8th player, a composite athlete with the best performance from each event. The dice in the Sports Illustrated Track Meet game are quite unique and are used to simulate various track and field events in the game. Here's a breakdown: Three Special Dice: The game includes three dice with non-standard faces, which are used to generate numbers for different events. Event Simulation: Players roll the three dice to determine the outcome of each event, such as running, jumping, or throwing. The results are then compared to a table to determine the performance of each athlete1. The dice add an element of chance and excitement to the game, making each roll unpredictable and keeping players on their toes. The game involves a series of ten track and field events, and players aim to accumulate the highest overall score by performing well in each event. It's a fun way to experience the excitement and challenge of the decathlon!
