Oh - Snoopy from peanuts - lol - I am a snoopy expert, I have a beagle :)
Newbie question - where did you guys participate in the TT challenge? This is the only team challenge I've participated in before and loved it, so I've been looking to do some more.

You might want to check out AMMP Game Night too.

Hi everyone! I'm so excited to do this one again. Last year's game was my first ever team challenge and it completely got me hooked.
This was the challenge that got me hooked, too! Can I stay with Annika & Eldarwen? And if you divorce them, I don't know who to go with! :)
Haha Laura. We may have to work out custody before we begin
Karen wrote: "Haha Laura. We may have to work out custody before we begin"Wait. I said I'd be a co-captain. That means I don't get to be with them, doesn't it. Are you going to make me meet more awesome people? What if I don't wanna? :)

I'm awesome - you know I am :)

Hi everyone, I recognise a lot of you from Tower Teams. I saw Karen mention this over there and thought this would be perfect for my challenge addiction fix. So i signed up...I used to play Uno heaps when my kids were younger... fun. ☺
*waves*Hi Lisa
I hope you enjoy this one. I think you will as UNO is pretty easy going
Thanks Karen. I know I'll love it..
Oh and if it works out I'd love to be on your team again.

Lol, bummer, eh? ;-)
You know, we could start this whole custody tug-of-war, but... it's too early in the morning for me to even come up with arguments. Besides, Sally has already done that for me ;-) You'd have a side-kick then while meeting new people hehe.
Hi allI've been lured ;) here by Karen with whom I was doing the Tower Team IV. First time UNO challenge player, I look forward to it. I have a love/hate relationship with the real game, my husband always wins except for when I'm in labour :)
Just saw about this and I couldn't resist another team challenge.
TT was fund and after reading the comments of my team I just had to check it out. Hm...guess I got hooked too on challenges...I am in :)
Hi Avamuc, glad we could lure you to this as well ;-)
That was not too difficult ;)
Woot! Cool to have you on board for Uno as well, Avamuc :-)
Welcome all! Nice to see some new, and some familiar, faces!
I'm guessing that a lot of the people from TT will migrate over here :)

We just finished another team challenge together (TT) and are not quite ready to go our separate ways...
(And I'd be happy to be captain/co-captain if needed.)
I'm glad to see so many TT players coming over to join this challenge! This is going to be so fun. :)

Sometimes I may be only to put two people together from the players requests ; it all comes down to book numbers as the teams are smaller for UNO (so if the four of you are big readers it may not work out).

Work on individual challenges?? Read BOMs?? I'm sure you need to refill the pantry with snacks and get some sleep after TT to prepare for March. ;)

I just signed up for this challenge and would also love to continue to be on the same team as you all!
I'm a TT emigrant here as well, looking forward to the challenge.
Good evening!I have signed up for this challenge even as a new member of this group. I am also a Tower Teams émigré. Looks like fun.

It probably would be a long shot to get all of us on the same team again, especially since now 5 of us from the same team are coming over from the TT challenge. Would it be possible to at least split us up into only 2 groups that way we're not all separated?
Hi! I really want to play, too, but I fear I must be incredibly dense. Could someone please explain the rules?
Rules and an example are here Lauri:https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
It's pretty easy once you start and see the spreadsheets and how the captains start assigning books.
Basically you just need to sign up, wait for team allocations, and then from March 1, post your books read with how they may count for the UNO cards for your team

And maybe read all those short stories that was under the page limit for TT ;-)
Yes! Good idea to binge on short stories, graphic novels and poetry before UNO starts ;)
A couple familiar faces here :) I heard about how much fun this game/challenge was last year and have been waiting for it to come back! Excited to start!
I just signed up for the challenge. Can't wait to get started!
I've signed up and can't wait. I'm addicted to challenges - with this challenge, I'm up to 13 this year already!
Make that 14 this year, just signed up to another one !
I've signed up for the challenge, I need something to fill the TT gap.
First timer in this reading challenge! I thinking saying I am excited is an extreme understatement :-)
Welcome, Sarah! I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with this one. :)
Good morning, everyone! I just learned about the new Uno game starting form the newsletter. I am super excited to play! I played last year, and it was a tremendous amount of fun.
Welcome to the madness (again) ;-)
