The Dune board game is adapted from Frank Herbert's epic sci-fi novels and the current Hollywood feature centered around control of the most valuable substance in the known galaxy, a psychotropic material called the spice Melange. Think Game of Thrones in space with giant sand worms and you've sorta got the picture.
Gale Force Nine's latest release is updated from their original version of the Dune game and is defined as an asymmetrical strategy game combining elements of calculated machinations and warfare.
Dune, A Game of Conquest and Diplomacy rely upon four decades of development, refinement and evolution from the company’s classic game. Fans of the original will be pleased that this latest iteration retains the same flavor, tension and themes, but contains new game board design, harvesters of more spice, better streamlined rules, and a fresh market deck where you’re able to buy game advantages.
A brand new 2-player mode accelerates gaming opportunities that make it much easier for Dune newbies to join in. Gameplay finds you guiding one of four great cornerstones of the universe: House Atreides, House Harkonnen, the Fremen, and the Imperium, all maneuvering to manipulate and control spice, that hallucinatory, life-expanding drug found only on Dune.
