Dune: War for Arrakis is a thematic strategy board game centered around the Desert War events from the acclaimed Dune novel by Frank Herbert.
In this asymmetric game, the devious House Harkonnen, with the backing of House Corrino, must battle the remnants of House Atreides, who are allied with the desert Fremen, for control of Arrakis and its most precious resource : the spice melange.
While the Harkonnens rely on their vehicles, like Ornithopters and Carryalls, to move their forces and avoid the dangers of the desert, the Atreides harness desert power, riding the colossal Sandworms into battle. Each faction employs different strategies, complemented by their unique Leaders and sets of Planning Cards, to achieve their own victory conditions.
Two-Player Battle for Dominance
Lead either House Harkonnen or Atreides in a tense and strategic battle for control over the most important world in the Imperium. In games with more than 2 Players, each player controls one of the sub-Factions, cooperating with their allies.
