Arrakis is a desert world, seemingly dead and desolate, but here lies the most important resource in the galaxy: Spice. Without Spice, space travel is impossible, and humans become small clusters on isolated planets. The noble House that controls Arrakis and the production of Spice wields great power. The Emperor granted Arrakis to House Atreides, but then conspired to replace them with their old rivals, House Harkonnen. Baron Harkonnen crushed Atreides in a treacherous attack and now rules the planet with an iron fist. But Paul and Jessica, heirs to House Atreides, are alive and instigating a rebellion with the help of the feared Fremen, the mysterious inhabitants of the desolate expanses of Arrakis.
Only one House will emerge victorious from the coming battle, while the other will be lost in the sands of the desert. It is into this grim reality that players are thrown in Dune: War for Arrakis.
In this asymmetric strategy game, players fight for control of the planet, maneuvering troops such as Fremen, Fedaykin, and the fearsome Sardaukar, while sending Spice harvesters out into the deep desert and daring to challenge the great Sandworms. The game features an action dice system with numerous event cards that will allow players to retell the Dune saga in different ways with each playthrough.
