Back to the 80s! February Mini Challenge

This is an optional mini challenge for our UNO players. This month we are getting our 80s reading hat on!.

We have given each team a popular book from the 1980s.

As a team, you need to try and read as many books that you can connect with your 1980s book as possible. The ways the books "connect" is completely open to interpretation.

Creativity is the key to the challenge, not rules.

For example; Team XYZ is assigned The Handmaid's Tale.
They read books by Canadian authors, sci-fi MPG, books with something red on the cover, dystopian books, books where a young female is in an arranged relationship with an older male, a book where two characters do something in secret etc.

You don't need a unique reason for each book read and connected. So in the above example, we could read and connect more than one MPG Sci-Fi books (for example) to claim the mini challenge points.

For each book read and connected you will receive 10 points. As a team you can read a maximum of 40 books for this mini challenge.

                        


If one of your team members also reads (and finishes) your assigned 80s book during the mini challenge, you will receive 30 bonus points. (There is only 30 points per team so although more than 1 team member is welcome to read the book, there are no extra points on offer)

                        


◈ 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 February 14, 9am UTC (countdown is here) and before March 1 at 9am UTC (when the March UNO month begins).


◈ 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
