It’s a lighthearted tale that focuses on three “Bone” characters who are cousins: Fone Bone, Phoney Bone, and Smiley Bone. Fortunately, for gamers in my situation, Telltale provides a background video on its website so you can get caught up if you decide to begin with The Great Cow Race. It seems that the Bone cousins have been run out of Boneville, which was the result of Phoney Bone’s mischievous behavior, and become separated “in a vast, uncharted desert.” Each of the characters makes their way to a wooded valley where they eventually meet up again in a town called Barrelhaven. The village is currently abuzz because it just so happens that that the annual cow race will be taking place on the day that the Bones arrive. If you are confused on what a cow race could possibly be, it’s just what it sounds like. The carnies have also set up shop in town because the race, and the betting that goes with it, attracts a crowd.
