Description

Suunnistuspeli (translation from Finnish: the Orienteering game) is a game to teach children how to do orienteering, by learning map denotations and the points of the compass. The goal of the game is to go through five checkpoints on the map. The spin of the compass is used to find a good direction and the die decides the distances the player can go on the map grid. Movement is restricted that the players cannot walk over the lakes, marshes or planted fields on the map. The game was produced in cooperation with the Finnish Orienteering Federation, and dates probably from the early 1980s.
