Here's how it works...
(30 minutes is typically allowed for this activity)

To start, each participant picks one card from a deck of cards. This is the card each person builds their poker hand around. How exactly will participants acquire the other cards they need? Well, by orienteering, of course!

At each of 28 stations, another card is drawn from another deck. Using a map, each person must navigate to as many of these locations as possible. If a participant wishes to use a card at a particular station, they use a special punch located at the station to punch the appropriate box on their control card. (For example, if they wanted the ten of spades found at the fourteenth station to be part of their hand, they would punch box #14 on their card.)

It is not necessary to immediately decide if they want the card displayed when they arrive at each station. They may make a note of the card, visit as many other locations as they can, and, keeping in mind the time limit, go back and revisit the stations that have the cards they want. Participants can't forget that since they must complete a five-card hand, and they started with one card, they cannot punch in at more than four locations.

And, here's a rule that will inject even more strategy into their decision-making process: once they have punched in at a station, they cannot change their mind -- they have to include that card in their hand.

If participants need help with the hierarchy of poker hands (the old "what beats what"), OU provides a handout that participants can take with them
