How about a "County" game. All the states counties would be the game pieces. And as a result, you make all the out state caching communities feel as much a part of the game. With this game, someone (GeoPierce probably) could come up with an interactive map to show what counties you have found. So the map would fill in as you found more pieces. Winner to be determined by who has the most shaded in counties by a set time.
Just a thought? |
Oh, I thought you meant that you had to travel to each county and find a cache but it's just like the Lakers but with counties. It's a possibility. Sorry Gilby, my brain is fried after solving your puzzle today!  Wow, I'm still the only one who found it.

I don't play the laker game...or at least I haven't yet played it; but was wondering, if it would be acceptable for those that do play the game and wanted to all chip in some cash to replace a few of them? Perhaps those that enjoy the game could "sponser a laker" and replace one missing laker; assuming that a deadline was placed and all sponsered lakers were purchased at one time to save on production costs...
Just a thought. |
I like this idea, but I am also new at everything so I have not played yet, But a new game is also a good idea. Just don't ask me to come up with one. It would take too much brain power. Sorry  |

Sorry, I wasn't too clear. Yes, just like the laker game, but with a change of scenery. Plus, I think more people could identify with county names and visualize their whereabouts a little better than some of the obscure lake names. (at least they should!) That said, its not really a new game, just a tweaked one that may be fun to watch and play. I am not sure if the mapping capabilities is an option, but it sure would be fun to watch. Especially if you could look at the other players' maps.
Once again, just a thought?

On the new game thought:
There is a county near me,Wilkin-that doesn't even have a cache-extra points could be for hiding the first

My guess is that it has a cache already, but it just isn't posted yet...... Isn't that right KB?
