Geocache Description:

This series of caches is dedicated to the old board games many of us played as kids. Before the days of Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox these types of games were the rage. Almost every family had a games closet where they stored all their favorites. 


There are a variety of puzzles in this series that I hope are not too difficult for the average cacher to solve. Look for clues along the way – some of the logsheets will contain codes to help you find the final two bonus caches.

 

The cache is not located at the posted coordinates. Solve the mystery to get the correct coordinates.

This was a pretty simple game, but I remember getting one for my 6th birthday and having lots of fun playing. Maybe that's why I still like cherries now? Anyhow here are the rules:

Each player starts the game with an empty basket and 10 cherries on his/her tree. Players take turns spinning the spinner and performing the indicated action. The spinner is divided into seven sections:

Take one cherry from tree

Take two cherries from tree

Take three cherries from tree

Take four cherries from tree

Dog: Replace cherries on tree: two if the player has at least that many in his/her basket, one if he/she has only one (no effect if player's basket is empty)

Bird: Same as dog

Spilled basket: Replace all cherries on tree

The first player to collect all the cherries from his/her tree and call "Hi Ho! Cherry-O" wins the game. Now you know everything you need to know!
