Goal: To reach the end before everyone else!

So how does this work?
Everyone starts on (the non existent) square 0.
When the Game begins Riya and me will roll a dice(a real one or a random number generator) for every participant to decide, how many steps everyone is allowed to take.
Then you have to read a book, matching the theme, that is written on the square you stand on. As you might see you have two options to choose from most of the times, but you have to read only one book per square!! (exceptions are only 11 and 21, where you have to read more than 1 book)
When you finish your book, we'll roll the dice for you again. :)

When will the challenge end?
The challenge ends, when someone reaches 25 and finishes his/her last book. (25 is a free square, so it's any book of your choice)
If you stand e.g. on 23/24 and get a 6 you automatically move to 25. You can't skip the last square!

Start: May 1st

I'll totally join! :D Is there any way you can move backwards if you don't land on 17, 19 and 20?

No, there is no way to move backwards. Why would you want to move backwards? lol

Haha just wondering, because some people are faster readers than others and might get to the end faster.

And when do we start reading?

Ah thank you, I forgot to add that! LOL
The Challenge starts on May 1st :)

And is going on until someone finishes the challenge, but if people want to we can determine 2nd, 3rd and so on place as well.

Aw got to wait for ages. :(

Yes, you have to wait for other people to have the chance to discover this challenge, too! Playing on your own would be boring after all, right? :)

Nooooo haha. I might actually have a chance. XD

It's only about luck, so everyone has a chance!(even slow readers) If you get 4 times a 6 you can finish the challenge with 4 books. :)

True I guess haha. I just need to actually read books on my square. XD I'm guessing we all start needing to read a first book/E main character?

No, we'll start with rolling the dice, so everyone starts on (the non existent) square 0. So if you get a 6 in the first round you can even start on square 10 :D

Oh wow that's sooo cool! I'm so excited! :D

I have to go to bed now sorry. :(

I'm excited, too! :D And good night :) Hopefully you'll be able to sleep now. lol

What do you mean now? For my it's 10:50pm lol

I'm totally in for this challenge!

I meant you could be too excited to sleep XD (and I know you are 12 hours ahead of me, so it's easy to figure out your time :D)

I joined the challenge as well, for it to be obvious I'm not cheating Riya will have to roll the dice for me then! lol

Hannah wrote: "Is this going to be a constant challenge? Like when we finish the first game are you going to hold signups again?"

Actually we thought about making a little bit more difficult board game next time :D This time we went with the easiest way to make a board game, now we are thinking about new possibilities like having something similar to Monopoly, Ludo and other popular board games. :)

Monopoly based challenge would be fun and interesting I think!

Hannah wrote: "Ah ok :) i like that idea then! Im excited to see a harder version since this one turned out so good."

I probably have to give a few credits to my boyfriend here, who made us the picture :D Me and photoshop probably never will be friends and it took him only like 10 minutes to finish it.. O.O (I'd probably would have needed hours on my own.. XD)

Haha yeah we'll definitely make a harder version for next time :D That'll be even MORE fun!

And, as mentioned, since Jasmin is participating, I'll roll the dice for her (and anyone else!)

I'm keen to join the next one too! :D the harder one lol

Hannah wrote: "You can still join if you want Riya :) Jasmin or another mod can roll for you."
