Pls let me know if I have an incorrect score for you. I try to make sure I read all the posts, but of course I may miss one. Thank you!

[Sue]

That is right for me....I am loving the challenge but I starting to think a year is too long.....lol

[Angela]

Yes a year seems too long for me as well. I am also doing this challenge in my own group, so it is taking me longer, which is good.

I know somewhere in this topic you said we can claim multiple Yahtzees, but how does that work? Do we just claim 50 more points in the Yahtzee category, and then get an extra turn to finish the game? Or do we put 50 points into one of our empty categories?
