Geocache Description:


OPERATION GAMER: Board Games, Video Games, Card Games, Sports, anything that has to do with game competition is the subject of this current project. April 11 is “National Board Game Day”!

THIS CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. Solve the puzzle below to unlock the true coordinates for the final container. No need to go to posted coordinates, this cache will be accessible from the Rails to Trail hiking path.

 

Uno

Uname for 2-10 players where the goal is to be the first to play all your cards by matching colors, numbers, or symbols. Players must shout "UNO!" when they have only one card remaining, or risk penalties. It features special action cards—Skip, Reverse, Draw Two, and Wild cards—to disrupt opponents. Uno is shedding-type card game (getting rid of all your cards) originally developed in 1971 by Merle Robbins in Reading, Ohio.

 

PUZZLE: Follow the cards. Nick will play first, from there follow the play of cards to deduce the final coordinates. Only one order of play will result in correct coords (you are looking for only the last three numbers in both the North and West coordinates).
