I'm stealing Bex's format.

[[deleted user]]

I have a question now! Lol.

For Full House it says: "Read two books by GR authors and three books by new authors/or their first book written (you can also flip this:two books by new authors and three by GR authors)"

Does GR authors just mean those who have an account they use? Can they still be new ones if they're GR authors? And can the new authors not be GR authors at all? *confused*

Sounds like fun.
I'll play and post my card later.

[Mary X]

So I took my second roll just to have something to break up the reading for my large straight. And my 2nd roll was a small straight on the 1st roll.

My 1st 2 rolls will keep me well occupied.

[Ezi]

Confession time. I never played Yahtzee but I'm a quick learner. So I hope you guys can help me out. But I think I should be fine

Do you mean can you be reading more than one book at a time? Yes, that is absolutely fine. Also if you finish a book for one roll that requires more than one book and decide to read another book for a different roll before finishing the other books that is fine too. I hope that makes sense.

As long as it says GoodReads Author behind their name or there is a star when you look at your TBR by their name that is fine.
If you read a book that is a new author (to you) or their first published book and they happen to be a GR author too that works.

Angela, Please double check this and make sure I've got this right. It's been soooooo long (prob. about 25 years or so) since I played Yahtzee and I didn't play it often.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Great turn-out, Angela! Ya'll have fun!! Sadly, I'm going to have to pass. Maybe I can join in on a future round? ;)

Thank you Steph! I am really happy with all the participants ;) I had some help with a friendly email though.

Missyb it looks right. For your second roll, was that large straight from one roll?

[Ezi]

@ Angela.
I have read the rules 3x and I still don't get the lower section. I have never played yathzee...But I want to play.
so I propose that you roll the dice for me and chose the numbers and I will work with whatever you get.


Second question:
Does "the" count towards titles?
For instance, would this title be considered a Three-word title or a Four-word Title? The Force of Wind by Elizabeth Hunter

[Jamie]

Question #2- The, A, An can count towards the word in the title or it cannot. I would depend on what you want to do. I don't want to make this anymore difficult on anyone to find a book. So basically you can use it for either the three or the four.

1-2-3-4-2 (keeping same)
1-2-3-4-2 (Sm. Straight or TWOS)

5-3-5-6-4 (keeping 3,4,5,6)
3-4-5-6-2 (LG Straight)

Turn #3
2-3-1-5-6 (this one is tough because you have your straights covered unless you were to go for your TWOS on the first roll) (keeping the 1)

3-3-5-1-2 (this is a crappy roll, so you could use your THREES or your ONES, or CHANCE.)

[Sue]

I have a question...in yatzee,if you roll something and no longer have an opening that fits you take a 0 in an open catogory.If you take a 0 in a spot, do you still do reading for that spot?
Hope this made sense...lol
