Goal: Using a GPS Unit, locate GeoCaches
around the Hundred Aker Wood to collect cards worth the highest point
total. Starting the Game: Each player receives an Instruction Sheet (this sheet), a Trail Map, and some number of Game Cards. Any players who have a GPS Card receive a GPS Unit and a set of Order Cards. Players may begin trading cards and forming Expotitions. To start an Expotition, a group
must be formed which includes a Player that has a GPS Card and a Player
that has a Location Card. (The Location Card holder may negotiate
a trade in order to reveal the Location coordinates if he so chooses.
However, Location coordinates may only be used if the card is in the
Player’s possession no writing down coordinates.) •All cards may be traded among players at any time. •All cards must be kept together •All deals must be executed
immediately and honestly no lies, hidden cards, future considerations,
etc. Types of Cards: GPS Cards - gives the
player control of a GPS unit Location Cards - specifies
the location of a GeoCache, including a unique name Special Cards - special cards
which give the player an advantage. Special cards may only be used once and
are then out of play (the card should be destroyed). Meld (Scoring) Cards - may be
combined in various ways to score points for the player Picture Cards - may
be collected to form complete pictures to score points for the player Starting an Expotition Once a player has taken control
of a GPS Unit and has entered the coordinates of a GeoCache Location,
he announces the Location and any players may choose to join his Expotition.
Each player may go to each Cache Location only once during the game. Once the number of players
(N) in the Expotition is determined, the Order Cards from 1 to N are
shuffled and given to the Players at random. Any players joining
the Expotition once it has started get the next highest Order Card.
Any players leaving the Expotition before the Cache is located should
give their Order Cards to the GPS Holder. Expotition Members must stay
within sight of each other. Thus players may only run if the entire
Expotition decides to run. Locating a GeoCache When the GeoCache Coordinates
have been reached, the holder of the GPS Unit must announce such.
All players may then search for the actual GeoCache Container. Once the Container has been
located, the GeoCache Selections are made in the following order:
the GeoCache Locator, the GPS Unit Holder, the Location Card holder,
all remaining players in Order Card order. Each player has up to 1 minute
to exchange up to 3 cards with the Cache. Once they have made
their Exchange, they may leave the Expotition. The GPS Locator receives the
GPS unit and card. Once every player has made
their Exchange with the GeoCache, the cache is hidden again in its original
location. Starting the Next Expotition The GPS Card (and GPS Unit
and Order Cards) pass to the GeoCache Locator. If no Location Card is available,
all players must return to the Deck. Winning the Game: When the time has expired, the player with the most points wins the game. Once time expires, no more deals, exchanges, changes to sets, etc. You can only visit each Location once. Check off the Locations here as you visit them:
