this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Dandelions, we regularly hold \u201crecreation\u201d events to strengthen bonds among employees, and this time, Team 0 hosted an Old Maid tournament.<br><em>We wanted to play during a company dinner, so we checked with the restaurant when making the reservation and received their approval.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of you reading this blog have probably played Old Maid at least once in your life.<br>While it\u2019s a familiar card game for our Japanese employees, it wasn\u2019t as well-known among our international team members, so we held a brief session beforehand to explain the rules and play a practice round\u2014together with the Japanese staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this wasn\u2019t just your standard Old Maid match\u2014we decided to spice it up with a <em>loser\u2019s bracket tournament<\/em> inspired by a popular TV show segment!<br>We divided into five teams for the first round, and only the losers from each team advanced to the second round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper-container\"><ul
