Geocache Description:

Hi!  Rich Uncle Pennybags here to introduce you to a series of geocaches celebrating the board game Monopoly!  You goal will be to play a game of Monopoly geocaching-style, and to collect color groups, hotels, and a special final bonus cache!


Welcome to the brown group, consisting of Mediterranean Ave and Baltic Ave.  This group is the first one encountered on the Monopoly game board, but it is often the last group that is purchased at the start of the game because of the low chance of a dice roll leading to these spaces.

For this cache you will need to collect some information from the Monopoly artifacts in the cache.  Please do not remove anything from the cache that is specific to the Monopoly game itself - in other words, trading swag is fine but do not remove any Monopoly related articles.  Once you find the information you need, make a note of it - you will need it later!

In order to collect the hotel cache for the brown, you must, just like in the game, collect finds on the entire brown group.  The information you collect from the properties will lead you to the hotel.  Collect the hotels from all of the color groups, and you will be able to find the final bonus cache and win the game!  (Yes, just like a real game of Monopoly, this may take you a couple of hours!)

 

Oh!  Before I forget!  When you play the Monopoly game there is an added randomizing factor that players must contend with - Chance and Community Chest cards!  These cards throw an element of uncertainty into the game, as the players' movement is not related to the throw of the dice.  What would a Monopoly themed series of caches be without incorporating the cards?  So - in each of the caches you will find a Chance or a Community Chest card that you may - or may not - need to follow.  Make sure you pay attention to these cards!  (But please, no matter what - DON'T TAKE THEM!)


Finally, here's a little piece of Monopoly trivia for you, from the Hasbro Gaming website:

In the book and the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, McMurphy joins the patients in a game of MONOPOLY. In the movie, the game gets so heated that McMurphy ends up hosing down the other players with cold water.
