Hello and welcome to Uno 2018!

I am your captain for this year's trip out of this world. Keep your belongings safely stored so they do not shift while we're journeying through outer space.

Please make sure your Uno shelves are correctly named and link it here in chat, thanks! I will link them in one of my reserved spots for easy access.

Please only put books onto your Uno shelf once they are read. It makes it easier for captains to check if we didn't forget to put a book onto the spreadsheet, verify read dates etc.

For those of you who are new to this challenge, or team challenges in general, please make sure you understood the rules. If you still have questions, feel free to ask away! Either here, or feel free to pm me. I don't bite ;-)

I hope we're going to have a lot of fun! Enjoy the challenge! :-)

[Cat]

Hello all! looking forward to this trip; hope I don't get space sick!

This is my second Uno, so I think I know what I'm letting myself in for!

[Eldarwen]

Just a note to the returning players: reread the rules for Wild & Wild Draw 4 cards - there have been some interesting changes ;-)

It'll be fun *grin*


That being said, I've played Uno since the first time the challenge was created by the awesome Karen. I think this is the fourth time now. I lost count.

Helloooo :-)

[Cat]

Wild Draw Four - so, for the Feb hand four, we'd have to read two books meeting Yellow 1 criteria??
Gah!
Have I mentioned that I hate yellow cards??! Could be worse, I guess, could be a Yellow 5 or 8.

And how does the WD4 work in Feb hand 5, which doesn't have any colours? Does it just act as a Wild card?

[Eldarwen]

The Wild Draw 4 doesn't have to be matched to a coloured card in the same hand. It can be any of the coloured cards we have that month.

[Cat]

ah! thanks :)

I really must get better at reading rules!

[Eldarwen]

Sometimes it's a single word that makes the difference hehe :-)

Welcome!

[Louise]

Hi everyone, I think this is my 3rd outing in UNO, will need to go re-read the rules. I also hate yellow cards🙁

My uno shelf 2018-UNO
Very original!

[Eldarwen]

Welcome, welcome!

[Savana]

Hi guys!!!! ☺️☺️
This is my first time playing Uno as well. I’m pumped!!
My shelf is Uno 2018

[Eldarwen]

Good to see the excitement! :-)

[Savana]

I have a quick question, if you don't mind!
How is it that we will determine who will be reading what? Or I guess my question could be, how did you determine last time? Just curious!!!

[Eldarwen]

Basically, you just pick a book you want to read and see which cards it could work for, and then we'll fit it where it works best.

It's easier to get the harder cards done first - which is the Reverse cards, the coloured cards and the Wild Draw 4 in this case.

Other cards that are a little trickier are 5 and 7 - I and V.

[Savana]

Thanks so much! ☺️☺️

[Eldarwen]

You're welcome!

[Katie]

Hello!!! It's good to see some familiar faces here. This is my second round of UNO and I'm excited to get started! :)

[Eldarwen]

Heya Katie!

Long time no see - welcome to the team :-)

[Cat]

Hi Katie [waves]

[Louise]

Hi Katie, welcome aboard 😄

[Eldarwen]

Good morning everyone!

I've messaged the two remaining members of the team and hopefully they're going to check in over the course of the day :-)

What are your plans for this Sunday? Which is promising to be gray and blergh here in Luxembourg..

For now, I'm going to go read a little bit as I want to finish (a red cover... I could kick myself now for having read it before Uno started haha). I really enjoy this series and while this one could have used a little bit more editing, it's full o action again as per usual.

Later I'm going to bake some cookies, the dough was prepared yesterday and needed to rest for at least 12 hours.

[Kelly]

Hi All

This is my first Uno challenge so be gentle...

Happy Sunday!

Kelly

[Eldarwen]

Welcome to the team, Kelly :-)

[Ashlee]

Hi all! I didn't realize teams had already been assigned. Exciting! This is my 3rd Uno challenge. It always turns out to be a fuun challenge because I clear a lot from my TBR and get new suggestions.

[Eldarwen]

Hello hello Ashlee!

That's the plan this year - clear some stuff from my TBR, especially the books that have been sitting around for a while, but preferably without adding too many new books. We'll see how that goes ;-)

[Louise]

Hi Ashlee and Kelly,
My plan also is to clear a lot off my TBR. Currently getting over a bad throats infection. Curled up on sofa with a blanket, and

[Eldarwen]

That sucks! Hopefully you'll feel better soon!! I've never read The Hobbit but love the movies, though apparently they embellished and added a lot. Are you enjoying it?

[Louise]

Thanks E I'm enjoying The Hobbit, I first "read " It as a class read back in primary school. I've tried watching the films but I can't get past the first half hour, although I love the LOTR films.

[Eldarwen]

Ah but that's when it starts getting good. Sweet Kili and then Legolas pops in, and that super awesome dragon even if he's evil.

Maybe next time try starting at the half hour mark where you usually stop and see if you can continue?

[Katie]

Hope you're feeling better soon, Louise!

That sounds like a pretty perfect Sunday, Eldarwen.

It was freezing cold yesterday, so we didn't take the kids out. That means that all errands are being run today. We have to hit the grocery store, book store (not a bad thing...), and Target. Then it's as much cleaning as we can squeeze in and also prevent the kids from undoing... :) Don't worry, Cat, I also hope to squeeze in some reading, too!!!! :P

[Kelly]

Hope you feel better soon Louise. I’ve just taken my 1 year old out for a walk in the hope it might tire him out - not sign of that yet! Managed to finish my current read however and due to start a new book tonight. It’s needed as my TBR pile is huge.

[Savana]

It’s nice and dreary and cold here too, in Arkansas USA. We are supposed to get rain today, making it more cold. I’m planning on making a blanket nest, drinking tea, and reading/watching movies with my husband all day.
Where is everyone from?

[Eldarwen]

Lol, yes the undoing of the cleaning/tidying.... ;-)

Sounds like you're all having a good time though!

[Eldarwen]

I'm from Luxembourg :-)
Hasn't rained today but it hasn't really gotten light either unfortunately.

[Kelly]

Hi Savana
I’m from the UK. 😊

[Katie]

I'm in Pittsburgh. :)

[Savana]

It’s so fun to meet new people, and I see that we are all over the world!

[Ashlee]

Interesting, Katie. I'm about an hour east of Pittsburgh. I feel your pain with the cold. It has been a perfect weekend to read.

[Ashlee]

Just out of curiosity, how many of us are doing the cutthroat challenge in NBRC?

[Eldarwen]

Not me. I decided to stay away from the big challenge this time. I wasn't in the mood for lots of strategy and Cutthroat seemed to require that.

[Cat]

Katie & I are in Cutthroat - team Oathbringer :)

braced for the sabotages...

so my plan for Uno is to take it easy!

yeah, I know - we'll see how long that lasts! ;-)

[Nichole]

[Eldarwen]

Hehehe, heya Nichole :-))
