DubbleG #49 at the HSR apartment had exactly the right amount of chaos: birthday balloons, a glorious snack spread, excellent cheese, kodebale, and a truly massive “Wanpaku 😈” sandwich stealing attention between turns. Junaid’s hosting got repeated applause, with an extra cameo from a brewer recommendation, plus a rabbit-and-website setup with live updates because apparently standard game night logistics were too tame. At the table, Dune: Imperium stayed close and high-stakes, with everyone somehow playing for “the Hand.” Junaid and Devyani built their own side-channel of giggles, laughter, and wacky strategy talks; some plans landed, some detonated beautifully. The finish was dramatic, with Deepak winning right at the end off end-game cards. And yes, the room also featured the unforgettable educational display: a capybara-turtle “symbiotic relationship,” or more accurately, a capybara with a turtle backpack in a position nobody is unseeing. Classic.
