Perky Space Travel! March Mini Challenge
This is an optional mini challenge for our UNO players. This month we are readying ourselves for a voyage through space!
In February, you have assembled your space treats already. Now it is time for everything else to come together.
PART 1:
Readying yourselves for space travel takes a certain amount of discipline and preparations. Complete the given tasks and by the end, you will be ready for perky space travel!
◈ Every book read, i.e. every task completed, is worth 10 points. (tasks are listed in the post below)
◈ If you complete all your travel preparations, your team will receive 30 bonus points.
PART 2:
Once you have everything you need to get ready, tell us a little story, why don't you?
A little anticipation on what you expect to encounter in your preparations, or your travels. Maybe a crazy mishap during your travels, maybe a totally wonderful yet incredibly unbelievable romance....
Use the titles of 15 books to tell us your memoirs. Be as creative as you like. You can use as much or as little of a title as you see fit.
◈ Books can be used either for the tasks or for the story.
◈ Every book used for the story will be worth 10 points.
◈ Finishing your story will earn your team an additional 30 points.
Additional rules:
◈ Books can be started at any point since the start of the UNO challenge (Feb 1)
◈ Books need to be finished after the start of this mini challenge on March 15, 7pm AEDST (countdown is here) and before April 1 at 7pm AEST (Countdown to April is here)
◈ Books used for this mini challenge do not need to be separate books for what you are claiming for your UNO hands
◈ The usual book length rules apply
◈ Team spreadsheets will be updated with a mini challenge tab so that you can track your books and claim your points

I've added an extra tab in our tracking ss for the mini where you can claim tasks or add your book to be part of our story. For the people who can't access it, I will also keep track of the tasks and the story in message 8.

Books finished after this countdown ends can be used for the mini!

Would this work for work tools? It has a shovel handle on the cover. It so, I will read it next."
I'm not sure. If others in our team agree then we can use it. If we can't agree then it's better if don't use it:)
Team, what do you think?
