Product Description
Dune: Imperium is a game that finds inspiration in elements and characters from the Dune legacy, both the new film from Legendary Pictures and the seminal literary series from Frank Herbert, Brian Herbert, and Kevin J. Anderson.
As a leader of some of the Great Houses of the Landsraad, raise your banner and marshal your forces and spies. War is coming, and at the centre of the conflict is Arrakis – Dune, the desert planet.
Dune: Imperium uses deck-building to add a hidden-information angle to traditional worker placement.
You start with a unique leader card, in addition to deck identical to those of your opponents. As you acquire cards and build your deck, your choices will define your strengths and weaknesses. Cards will let you send your Agents to certain spaces on the game board, so how your deck evolves affects your strategy. You might transform more powerful militarily, able to deploy more troops than your opponents. Or you might acquire cards that provide you with an edge with the four political factions represented in the game: the Emperor, the Spacing Guild, the Bene Gesserit, and the Fremen.
Unlike many deck-building games, you don’t play your whole hand in one turn. Instead, you draw a hand of cards at the start of every round and alternate with other players, taking one Agent turn at a time (playing one card to send one of your Agents to the game board). When it’s your turn and you don’t have any more Agents to place, you’ll take a Reveal turn, revealing the rest of your cards, as a way to provide Persuasion and Swords. Persuasion is used to acquire more cards, and Swords help your troops fight for the current round’s rewards as shown on the revealed Conflict card.
Defeat your rivals in combat, shrewdly navigate the political factions, and acquire precious The Spice Should Waft cards to lead your House to victory!
