## Overview

Gale Force Nine's Dune Board Game invites players to immerse themselves in the rich universe of Frank Herbert's Dune, where they can control noble families and navigate the treacherous sands of Arrakis. Designed for 2 to 6 players aged 14 and up, this game offers a thrilling 120-minute experience filled with conquest, diplomacy, and the ever-present threat of betrayal.

## Description

Product Description Set thousands of years in the future, Dune the board game is based on the Frank Herbert novels about an arid planet at the heart of the human space empire's political machinations. Designed by the creators at Eon of 'Cosmic Encounter fame, some contend that the game can best be described as Cosmic Encounter set within the Dune universe, but the two games bear little in common in the actual mechanisms or goals; they're just both set in space. Like Cosmic Encounter, it is a game that generates player interaction through negotiation and bluffing. Players each take the role of one of the factions attempting to control Dune. Each faction has special powers that overlook certain rules in the game. Each turn players move about the map attempting to pick up valuable spice while dealing with giant sandworms, deadly storms, and other players' military forces. A delicate political balance is formed amongst the factions to prevent any one side from becoming too strong. When a challenge is made in a territory, combat takes the form of hidden bids with additional treachery cards to further the uncertainty. The game concludes when one faction (or two allied factions) is able to control a certain number of strongholds on the planet. Box Contains Box, Game Pieces, Rulebook

Review: great - great
Review: Great thematic board game, great customer service - I don't usually do reviews, but thought I'd give this a go as I was very struck by what Gale Force Nine's Dune has to offer. Put simply, I have never played a board game before where the themes and politics of the universe were so well integrated into the game - if you like Dune and you like board games - you should play this game, no questions asked. In fact, even if you don't like board games but love Dune, you still may love this. I love the look of the game, and certainly prefer it to Dune Imperium, which looks a bit more abstract in comparison; of course your mileage may vary. The learning curve is a bit steep, even without playing the advanced game, but there is so much to get your teeth sunk into it is truly absorbing for hours. Lastly, a shoutout goes to Gale Force Nine customer support - the box that arrived did not come with one of the leader tokens. I could have sent the whole box back again, but thought I'd e-mail GF9 instead (it was missing just one small token after all) and they were more than happy to mail out a copy of that token to me. Sometimes its the little things that count.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Long but worth
*by D***Y on 12 November 2024*

This is a big teach and a big play session, but if you have the people willing to put up with that, it's probably the best board game ever made. It really captures the dunebess of it all.
