this works for 44 btw

did anyone find look-alike covers yet?

Jenny wrote: "Captains, would this work for #44? "

I'd say yes. It doesn't say there has to be the whole instrument on it. But I'll ask in the captain's group

the library I was at today didn't have a good selection. but I found a book with a pink cover, so hopefully I'll enjoy that one

For 13. Is there a character called Charles or Charlie?

I'll go to the library tomorrow to have a look :) and I just figured out my current book actually fits more than one task

and we got a no for using J.K Rowling as the K is in her second name

I stalked through some spreadsheets and picked out books (ok there are only 3, but better than nothing) that might be interesting for the mini challenge:

6. first published 4th of April
14. author Charlie
18. estranged siblings

I broke my finger yesterday and I'm wearing a cast. So I should have more time to read as I can't work until the 25th with this thing for sure.

I just can't seem to find books for this mini challenge

Kirsten wrote: "Jenny wrote: "Kirsten wrote: "Another for the lookalike one, I have if anyone can locate "

We can always ask in the captain's group. I wouldn't mind reading Harry Potter again :)

How does it count for number 14 for the mini challenge? We need examples :)

Jenny wrote: "How much detail do we need to write down to justify a task completed for the mini challenge? Was what I wrote too much? Too little?"

It looks fine to me :)

We can now read books for the mini challenge!!

I'll finish my current book tonight or tomorrow. then will try to finish a book I started in march. otherwise I might just wait for the mini challenge to start as well as I don't have much time

This is an optional mini challenge for our UNO players.

This mini challenge is all about reading different tasks related to unusual holidays in April!

How to play

⭐ For each task read you will receive 10 points
⭐ If you complete all 70 tasks* you receive 30 bonus points
⭐ If you complete all 70 tasks* you can shoot for "extra" bonus points by combining 2 tasks together. Each combined task is worth 30 points.
Example: combine day 11 Apr Barbershop Quartet Day
19. Read a book where someone goes to a hairdresser
20. Read a book with B and Q in the title
by reading a book with B and Q in the title where someone goes to the hairdresser
You can also read from two different days, so, for example, choosing tasks 69 and 47 I can read a book with honesty in the text which has an orange cover.
~Your team can do a maximum of 4 "extra" bonuses.
~The same combined tasks can't be duplicated - i.e. the 8 tasks chosen for the 4 combined tasks need to be 8 different tasks from the list

* The following teams are only required to achieve 60 tasks, not 70, to get the bonus points and to be able to access the "extra" bonuses:
Betelgeuse
Triangulum
Pluto
Tucana
Ceres
-The 60 tasks are of your choice, they do not need to be in any order

⭐ Only books read April 12-30 will count for this mini challenge.
⭐Books started before April 12th, 7pm AEST do not count for this mini challenge.
⭐ The usual book length requirement for UNO applies.
⭐Books used for this mini challenge do not need to be separate books for what you are claiming for your UNO hands.
⭐ A countdown to the start of this mini challenge can be found HERE.

The mini challenge starts on Thursday April 12, 2018 at 7pm AEST (Australian Eastern Savings Time).

Oh and exciting news, the april Mini Challenge is up! I'll post it in the next message

We have all blue cards covered btw ;)

Jenny wrote: "I am listing here the books that I am considering reading for color and wild 4 cards, Can the captains please let me know if any of them are problematic, so I can read something else instead? I wou..."

I've had a look through the books:

Should work - Splinter the Silence, Hag Seed, Infinite (according to tineye, and you can see it has yellow in it), Dragonflight, The Sinner, Hellbender (57.9% green according to tineye), The Lust Lizard, Forgotten Secrets, Insidious Intent (whale blue apparently), Reunion of Ghosts, The Eye of Minds (adds up to 63% blue)

The Fades Divide looks so black, and I can't quite imagine "Black Pearl" falls in the category of blue. Even though Tineye is suggesting it. I'd stay clear of that one. Broken River is orange to me.

I'd start with the really obvious ones. And I'm sure other people will be reading for coloured cards as well :)

I'll have a look later when I get home :) latest tomorrow morning before work lol
