If a person gets good cards the first draw can they keep them both?

Nope.

From the rules: Step 2 - Each player will decide which one of their two cards they will keep.

How do we change our team name?
We want to change ours to Emma and Patti at the Silver Slipper

I've changed it :)

Thanks Lanelle.
Can we use a book we started earlier today before the cards were drawn?

Yes.

Can we use books that are already started - for example if I have nearly finished a book that I can make fit a number, can I use it?

Yes.

Does the round only continue when both players have finished their books?

Yes. Both players need to finish their books before requesting new cards.

Does one of the players have to have a 21 or is the winner high score without going over?

The winner has the highest score without going over 21.

So guess we are playing with multiple decks of cards as I have now been dealt two TEN of Clubs's in the same Game. 😒😉🙃

I'm using random.org to get your cards.

Every time I click on the button, the cards come from a new deck. I made sure to mention that in the instructions: (Note that each time cards are drawn, it will be from new deck.)

It's actually possible that two players can be dealt the same card.

Ah! I missed that line in the info.
I was more teasing you, because I found it entertaining. With the same card coming up two draws in a row.
Thanks for a fun game.

Oh! Good question Sandy

You concede.

Are these the words which must be in the title, or ar..."

A number (1, 2, 3, 4) or its spot in a sequence (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th).

Examples of acceptable titles:
One Fell Sweep
Once Upon a Curse
The Two Towers
Twice in a Lifetime
Three Bedrooms, One Corpse
The Third Daughter
The Four Winds
The Fourth Mandate
and so on...

Yes.

By the way, I'll be reading that book soon in my In-Real-Life book club. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts.

Sandy wrote: "By the way, I forgot to thank you for answering my question of message 25. 😊"

You're welcome :)

And thanks for giving me your impressions of the book. I look forward to reading it now.

Another read or concede question. For our current game, I stood on 18. The card that Sandy drew will make her the winner. Do I concede or does she actually need to read the book? It's different than our last question because it was a case of her busting but this time I'm thinking she doesn't really 'win' until reads the book for the points, correct?

Yes, Sandy needs to read the book in order to win the game.
