Product Description
Set thousands of years one day, Dune the board game is based on the Frank Herbert novels about an arid planet at the heart of the human space empire’s political machinations. Designed by the creators at Eon of ‘Cosmic Encounter fame, some contend that the game can best be described as Cosmic Encounter set within the Dune universe, but the two games bear little in common in the actual mechanisms or goals; they are just both set in space. Like Cosmic Encounter, this can be a game that generates player interaction through negotiation and bluffing. Players each take the role of one of the vital factions attempting to keep an eye on Dune. Each faction has special powers that forget certain rules in the game. Each turn players move about the map attempting to select up valuable spice even as dealing with giant sandworms, deadly storms, and other players’ military forces. A delicate political balance is formed amongst the factions to prevent any one side from becoming too strong. When a challenge is made in a territory, combat takes the form of hidden bids with additional treachery cards to further the uncertainty. The game concludes when one faction (or two allied factions) is in a position to keep an eye on a certain number of strongholds on this planet.
