ARCHIVE Team Challenge: UNO 2017

Team Harry Dresden
Morning all,We need to move Sugar Kisses to my Reverse spot in hand 12 because there is a chance I will not be able to finish my book (Burial Rites) before the deadline. Sorry but I had family issues yesterday and I did not get to read as much as I had planned. But at least with the switch we can still finish 13 hands and my book can always be used in April.
Thanks Tina for having read a Reverse, I was feeling bad about not being able to finish my book.
No problem, I'm glad it all worked out:)

Yes please! If you and Alissa could finish your two books tonight that would finish off the last two cards and we would've completed all the hands!!!

Hi everyone, the March results are in. Good news is we moved up a place :)Looking at the scores, it's the mini challenges that we're behind on the points. Because we've got so many 'draw 2' cards in this month which we don't get any points on, we're going to be further behind on the main challenge so I think we really need to concentrate on the mini challenge (whatever it may be). So if we can get as many normal cards done as possible now, and then really concentrate on the mini challenge later.
Books to get for main challenge are:
1 0 yellow
7 one's
5 two's
6 three's
7 four's
5 five's
1 five red
6 six's
5 seven's
1 seven blue
6 eight's
1 eight green
8 nine's
6 skip's
6 reverse's
3 wild's
4 wild draw 4's
