This deck is locked. Further cards should not be added - leave feedback on the talk page.

For information about geocaching go to geocaching.com. This deck uses a lot of local lingo, so the card titles may not make sense to some people even if they know about geocaching.

Special Rules

You win by finding the cache.

If a card under your control says that you are immune to another card, no opponent may play that card on you.

Phases

There are 3 phases of play. Each player keeps track of which phase he is currently on. The three phases are as follows: - Driving - Hiking - Searching

When a player plays an obstacle, he plays it on another player who is on the phase stated on the card. If a player has an obstacle in front of them, no player may put another obstacle on them for as long as that player has an obstacle in front of them.

No player may have two of the same card in front of them at any time.

No player may change phases or find a cache for any reason if they have an obstacle in front of them.

When a player changes phases, all phase-specific remedies under his control are destroyed.
