No. Only books started after the challenge starts counts.
Have a look at this countdown to know when to start

Melindam | 4427 comments Could someone please -slowly- clarify a bit the "wild draw 4" concept? :) I am not 100 °% sure I got it right.

E.g.: if we have this hand below
2
3
8
8
7
Wild Draw 4
3 Red

if we read a book good for 3 Red, will it also count for the wild draw 4?

2)
And what if we don't have a coloured card in the hand, but have a wild draw 4?

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Wild draw four

Read a book that can fit for any of the coloured cards you have that month (i.e. you are duplicating one of your coloured cards).


==================

1) No, you will have to read another book for the Wild Draw 4 card as the coloured card needs to be duplicated, i.e. there needs to be a "double", so to speak. (It does not work like the Draw 2, where you will read one book that counts for 2 cards.)

2) You will duplicate any coloured card, from any of your hands. Coloured cards and Wild Draw 4 cards do not need to be in the same hand.


Hope that makes it clearer?


message 63: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 4427 comments Thanks, Eldarwen. 1. is clear!

2) sorry for being a bit slow: this means we need to read an "extra" for any of the coloured cards we have in the february hands?


message 64: by Eldarwen (last edited Jan 12, 2018 05:23AM) (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Yup!
You basically read for that coloured card twice.

So to take your example above, you will read a book for the 3 Red, and then you will read a book for the Wild Draw 4 card that would also fit for the 3 Red, but it needs to be a separate book.

(And the coloured cards can only be duplicated once, so for every Wild Draw 4 card, you're going to have to duplicate another coloured card.)


message 65: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 4427 comments Now it' s all clear. Thank you for your patience. :)


message 66: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments You're welcome! :-)

UNO Pixie | 1839 comments We have enough new sign ups for 2+ teams, so missing members have now been messaged as follows:

===========

Hello,

Your UNO captains have let us know that you haven't yet checked in to your thread.

In 48 hours we will be assigning replacements, so if you DO want to play, you need to check in by then.

On the 22nd (AEDST) we are creating new teams, so if you don't get back to us in 48 hours, but you DO message me by the 22nd we can give you a new team. Otherwise, you will need to go onto the reserve list.

We hope to see you soon!

Don't fear, we will put you on a team over the next few days, hold on just a little while longer :)

Great!
(If possible, I'd love to be on Doodlepanda's team, since she's my friend.)


message 77: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teresainohio) I am on reserved too, just checking if I made it on a team yet?


message 78: by Annika (new)

Annika | 1412 comments Not yet, we will create a couple of new teams around the 22nd. You will be in one of them, so hold on another few days and we'äll get you a team.

thanks Uno is my favorite card game


message 80: by Jane (new)

Jane  | 297 comments I have just signed up hoping to be assigned to a team but know it is late so also realise I might be a reserve player.

In my sign up form I said NO to having played Uno last year and I just realised I did actually play in the 2017 Uno.


message 81: by Katie.dorny (new)

Katie.dorny (katiedorny) | 5 comments How do you sign up? Is it too late to? I'm new here so still trying to figure things out sorry :)


message 82: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments No worries, Jane. We'll keep that in mind. Thanks for letting us know.

Katie, as explained in the "Read me first" thread, you need to fill out this sign-up form. It should be straightforward, but if you have trouble with it, feel free to give a shout.
You're just in time though to still sign up - have no fear ;-) We're going to start assigning the latest sign-ups into new teams as of January 22nd.


message 83: by UNO Pixie, Our UNO Helper (new)

UNO Pixie | 1839 comments Update

New teams are being created.
Sign ups from this point will be reserves

New teams will be announced in the next 12-ish hours!

Sarah⭐ The Ultimate Book Hoarder  (sarabellatrixx) | 69 comments Do I still need to check in? I'm listed as team Tucana.


message 87: by Annika (new)

Annika | 1412 comments Yes, you need to check in with your team :)


Sarah⭐ The Ultimate Book Hoarder  (sarabellatrixx) | 69 comments I'm new to this challenge so how do I do that haha? Sorry for being a pain.

Annika | 1412 comments You check in by posting in your team thread. The thread will be opened when your captain has reserved a few spots, so keep an eye out.

Although I signed up (number 75 on the sheet), it said my profile name was someone else :(

Is there any chance of getting into a team? profile is definitely moosh! https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/8...


message 92: by Lulu (new)

Lulu (lulufritz) | 704 comments My team still seems to be locked. Do you think it will be all set tomorrow to post to check in?

Unfortunately we couldn't find you as your goodreads address is 8395377-moosh
There is someone with the goodreads.com/moosh address and they confirmed it was not them, so we were unable to assign you a team. That is why on the form we say the profile number and name is so important.
We will put you on the reserves and as we have players withdraw or not check-in to the challenge we can assign you a team

Varsha (varsha18) | 134 comments hi, if we have a number card, can the title have its ordinal. Eg : if we have a card number 1, can the title have First or say a number 2 card, have Second ?
