35559 I think it's that it's a rare one, so we need to hunt them down!

We've enough U books on the sheet for 3 more spellouts, so U books with additional letters are the ultimate goal :)

35559 For those keeping track, the only cities we haven't read for yet are

- Melbourne, Australia - Saar has a book planned for this
- Bogota, Columbia (I do have an option, but will only do so after I've got some U books done!)

We have read for Nashville the maximum 3 times, and several of the others a couple of times.

In total, we have read for 28 cities, with a further 7 (at least) planned!

That's OUTSTANDING stuff!

35559 woo-hoo! The Doctor Who wheel is up!

I've added the monsters to our sheet, so we can spin them in now :)
I guess it's dealers choice whether they respin the monster type just killed or the one we don't currently have any of.... if that makes sense? given we have a max of 5 monsters at a time
