Set in a far - off future, the Dune board game draws inspiration from Frank Herbert's novels. It features a dry planet at the heart of the human space empire's political scheming. Players step into the shoes of different factions vying for control of Dune. Each faction comes with unique powers that can bypass certain game rules. On each turn, players explore the map to gather precious spice while facing off against giant sandworms, deadly storms, and rival military forces. A fragile political equilibrium forms among the factions to stop any single side from becoming overly dominant. When a territory is challenged, combat involves hidden bids and the use of treachery cards, adding an extra layer of uncertainty.
