Arrakis is a desert world seemingly dead and barren; yet here lies the most important resource in the galaxy: Spice. Without Spice; space travel is impossible; and humans become little clusters on isolated planets. The noble House that controls Arrakis and the production of Spice wields great power. The Emperor gave Arrakis to House Atreides; but then he conspired to replace them with their old rivals; House Harkonnen. Baron Harkonnen crushed the Atreides in a treasonous attack; and now rules the planet with an iron fist. But Paul and Jessica; heirs to House Atreides; are alive; and are mounting a rebellion with the aid of the formidable Fremen; the mysterious inhabitants of the barren expanses of Arrakis.
Only one House will emerge victorious from the coming struggle; while the other will be lost in the desert sands. It's into this grim reality that players will be thrust in Dune: War for Arrakis.
In this asymmetrical strategy game; players fight for control of the planet; 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.
