We all know that Frank Herbert’s Dune universe is a very interesting and unique Sci-Fi setting that recently had 2 fantastic movies directed by Denis Villeneuve. With that, Dune: War for Arrakis was published earlier this year and we got our Kickstarter copy with all the bells and whistles played about 5 times since. We both very much enjoy the game and its mechanics, which use some of the same dice utilization as is found in War of the Ring, and have played both 2-player and 4-player. Dune: War for Arrakis is an asymmetrical strategy game where players fight for control of the planet of Arrakis, maneuvering troops like the Fremen, the Fedaykin, and the fearsome Sardaukar, while sending Spice harvesters into the deep desert, daring to challenge the great Sandworms. The game features an action dice system with numerous event cards that will enable players to retell the Dune saga differently with each playthrough.
