Rise of Ix is the first expansion for Dune: Imperium, which expands and deepens the exciting gameplay that has made Dune: Imperium one of the best board games in recent years!
The battle for control of the Empire continues! Technological innovations from the planet Ix offer strategic advantages to those who are able to acquire them. The broad reach of the CHOAM company provides trade resources. Familiar strategies take on new dimensions as fearsome warships reshape the conflict on Arrakis. And the leaders of three additional great houses enter the fray.
At the start of the game, you receive a unique leader card as well as a deck similar to your opponent's, and as you acquire more cards and build your deck, your strengths and weaknesses are defined by your choices, and your strategies are influenced by how your deck develops.
Some cards will lead to you gaining a powerful military force, allowing you to send out more troops than your opponents, while others give you an advantage with the game's four political factions, which can greatly impact how the war ends for you!
