Welcome to the game of Cacheopoly where you seek to hide and find geocaches to gain a cacheopoly of points over your competing geocachers.
There are a number of facets to the game of Cacheopoly. You move around the cacheopoly board by rolling a pair of virtual dice, which will generate a random pair of numbers each time you can make a roll. You will be automatically moved to a new location on the board depending on your roll or any benefit or penalty that may apply.
The four corner squares will provide a penalty or benefit depending on which one you land on.
Other locations on the board have different requirements in order to claim that location and roll to move forward.
Additionally there are 8 colour groups that relate to a set of tags at Geocaching Australia.
Your goal in Cacheopoly is to cacheopolise the number of points you gain throughout the game. A ladder is provided so you can gauge where you are on the ladder at any time. The higher your points the higher your position. Ladder positions will be calculated on points and prizes will be awarded accordingly.
There are prizes for finishing in certain places on the ladder, so even if you can't cacheopolise the points, your strategy may mean you can still claim a prize by being weaselly like a weasel. Prize positions will be 1st through to 10th (inclusive) and then every subsequent 5th position until the number of prizes has been exhausted. This could mean that some days position 90 is the highest winning position and other days where position 50 is the highest winning position. Prizes are dependent on the ladder positions being filled and your position on the ladder is based on your strategy.
So, go, cacheopolise your points and enjoy the fruits of your labour.
