Raquel Shah | 55 comments Hi Team,

Okay, so I'm still completely confused with this challenge. A couple of questions:

I see everyone claiming card colors. Is there still space for me to claim card colors?

On the spreadsheet... Am I required to read one of each of the columns?


message 52: by Raquel (new)

Raquel Shah | 55 comments Book: One of Us Is Dead
Date finished: 02/02/2023
Colored card: no
Cards it fits: O Title

I hope this is right. Please let me know if it's not.
I also added to the spreadsheet and my Uno shelf.

Paula Reyes Wagner (paurw) | 784 comments Hello Raquel, you can still claim colored cards we still need the Wild draw 4, so we need any of the following:
1 red
8 yellow
5 red
1 red
9 yellow

You don't have to read for every card, we read them as a team, I'll start filling the team spreadsheet tomorrow, I'll think it will be clearer that way.

the completion post is perfect!
does your book work for any other card? I like to have options in case we have to move things around the hands

I hope that's clear, if not, you can still ask more questions.

Answering this question, you don't have to read for each of the columns of the tracking spreadsheet, yo have to fill the ones your books works for

Paula Reyes Wagner (paurw) | 784 comments I finished my yellow book Voyager by Nona Fernández, the link is for the english edition in case any of you wants to read an excellent chilean author, she has a very special style and talks about an important part of our history as a country in a unique way.
I highly recommend her books

Keri | 602 comments I finished That Weekend by Kara Thomas for my 0 Blue and updated the date finished on the spreadsheet.

I also finished The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson which could be used for one of our WD4 as 8 Yellow, now that I’m finished I learned it’s works for CFN Eric. That card hasn’t been duplicated yet so if we want to use that we can.

I’ve started on my 1 Red today :-)

I also looked on the planning ss for any that are on there that I’ve also read and added my name to Scythe and No Exit.

Unfortunately Dark Matter only works for the cover color. I couldn't get it to fit under any other card.

Keri | 602 comments I'm fairly good at spreadsheets so I made an update to ours where all our names are in a dropdown so you can select it instead of needing to type it in.

I also made it so if the cell is empty, it will show in a light gray and when something is typed in it will go back to white, that way the captains can see the options easier or which cards have less options to cover them if a column is mostly gray.

I'm a big dork with this kind of stuff so if there's anything else you think would help I am willing to mess around with it! Or if you think those changes don't help I can take them out as well.
