Spatial Games

Lets face it, games are fun. Everyone likes to play games of some sort be it sports or board games or card games or what ever kind of games you're into. Some games are solely meant for amusement, others can be educational, others can be physical or some combination of all three. What is another thing most people like to play with? Technology of course! People like to fidle with things, take things apart just to put them back together and see if it will still work. One type of game that encompasses all of these things is Geo poker. Old fashion card game gone tech! You dwonload a list of GPS points to find containers, sometimes physical, sometimes virtual, to get a code. You enter the code on the website and get a card, once you get a full hand, it's just old fashion poker. This game is just fun because poker is a fun card game, educational because it get people hands on experience with GPS and finding points, it can be physical because you have to get outside to find the physical containers and it's using GPS technology.
