This cache is intended to be found for Ottawa's GAG27, which starts Friday November 15th at 6pm. If you find it sooner you will be considered a joker.
For the GAG27 event this cache is part of a Poker Run. A Poker Run is an event where participants acquire cards at various waypoints in an attempt to build the best poker hand (link to poker hands). I've participated in this type of event before and thought the Games themed GAG was great opportunity to recreate it here. After the event the cache will remain as a traditional cache.
Poker Run
This cache is part of a Poker Run. At each cache will be a set of envelopes each one containing a card. Take ONE ENVELOPE ONLY and bring it to the GAG event on Saturday. There you can open your envelopes and reveal your cards. Best poker hand will win a prize.
