On June 30th<\/sup>, MERC staff gathered at Mana Games for their \u201choliday\u201d party \u2013 celebrating New New Year\u2019s Eve (end of the fiscal year). After much debate, the group selected Kill Doctor Lucky <\/em>for their first game, and spent many frustrated rounds thwarting each others\u2019 attempts to kill the doctor, before Alian won once everyone else ran out of failure cards. They then played Ka-Blab!<\/em> and enjoyed shouting answers as fast as they could before passing the game (and timer) to their neighbor, hoping the bomb didn\u2019t go off. London managed to survive the explosions to win the game.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
