Hooked on Books discussion

CAPTAINS/CO-CAPTAINS ONLY, please!

Please use this thread to broadcast your moves.

For example, if Team Scottie Dog rolls and lands on "Vermont Avenue" and it is unowned and the team wants to purchase it. The Captains need to post that move and then post that they have satisfied the requirements of the move (list the book they used and the money they deducted from their Team Account). The Team that is next up, then knows when they can roll and what new properties are owned.

You will see this on your game board as well, but this will help keep order.

Example of Post:

Can each Team see if they can now edit the Bank Account cell?

No sorry team Race Car still cannot edit the bank account cell

Give it one more try and then I'm going to have to ask someone, because I've done absolutely everything I can think of to do.

All totals look correct now. Team Race Car can edit that cell

Great!

Team Shoe can edit also.

i can edit it! Team Wheelbarrow.

I can also edit - Team Scottie Dog

Gentle reminder that it is now Team Wheelbarrow's turn to roll!

After watching a few rolls, I'd like to give everyone the option of voting on using two dice instead of one. I'm concerned that you guys may end up bunching up really closely. If everyone agrees, you can switch to using the link to roll the dice (just make sure you select 2 dice or #s 1-12). If you would like to continue using one six-sided die, that is also fine.

Yes, two dice, please

I''m on board with two also

Hi everyone! I made a few adjustments to the Bank Accounts after it was noticed that Team Wheelbarrow's total was messed up. I assume this happened when I had to fix/restore the Board after the editing issue today.

As a fail-safe, don't forget to post your beginning and ending balance on your turn post so that we can make sure we don't miss something. We're all human after all.

Current Bank Balances are as follows:

Team Wheelbarrow: $804
Team Race Car: $1859
Team Scottie Dog: $810
Team Shoe: $1396

If you are confused, I have a breakdown I can send you, just PM me. :)

Happy Rolling!
