## Overview

The Gale Force Nine Dune Ixians & Tleilaxu House Expansion introduces two iconic factions—Ixians, masters of advanced technology, and Tleilaxu, genetic engineering fanatics—into the classic Dune boardgame. Designed for 2-6 players, this expansion enriches gameplay with new mechanics and strategic depth, requiring the base Dune game to play. Ideal for adult players seeking to deepen their Dune experience with authentic lore and competitive multiplayer action.

## Description

This expansion adds two new houses, the Ixians and the Tleilaxu, to the Dune boardgame.Tleilaxu: Led by a small council of Tleilaxu Masters – the fanatic, xenophobic Tleilaxu were tolerated because of their useful genetic engineering superiority. Although underestimated and loathed by others, they hoped to someday dominate all.Ixian:The cyborg, Prince Rhombur of House Vernius, leads the Ixians, masters of manufacturing and technologies only they know how to deploy.Both the Ixians and the Tleilaxu are integral to the economy of CHOAM and the Imperium. The royal family of Ix had once been one of the wealthiest in the Imperium. Because of a successful invasion of Ix by the Tleilaxu and the Emperor’s Sardaukar, and then, after many years, the liberation of Ix by Ixian and Atreides forces, the Ixians and the Tleilaxu are mortal enemies.This expansion also introduces new game mechanics to help you gain advantages over your rivals.

Review: Great Expansion for Those Who Like the Base Game - This expansion provides a great update to the Dune boardgame. If you enjoy Dune, then this expansion is for you. While there are issues with Dune such as the complicated rules for advanced play, and it's brutal old school philosophy that may make the game a pointless drag if you get unlucky at the beginning, those are issues with the base game. So, if you are buying the expansion, that probably means you are OK with the general flaws. As a huge Dune nerd, I love having more factions, and the mechanics are well in line with the lore. If you are looking for more variations on the theme, get this expansion. If you are looking for an expansion that fixes some of the issues, this is not the expansion for you. For a similar game with much more streamlined play, check out Rex Imperium if you can find a copy.
Review: For the Love of the Game - Dune has always been on my short list as the best games of all time. The old game is pretty much the same as the new, but the new is easier to use. The inclusion of these extra Houses is interesting. I have not play tested some of the new Treachery cards but it is all pretty exciting.

Dune has always been on my short list as the best games of all time. The old game is pretty much the same as the new, but the new is easier to use. The inclusion of these extra Houses is interesting. I have not play tested some of the new Treachery cards but it is all pretty exciting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A beautiful layer to a deep game
*by C***E on April 11, 2021*

After having the good fortune of having a consistent 6 player experience, we had the two veterans play the new factions. Just as Herbert shook his Duniverse in his sequels with expanding on the Bene Tleilax and the Ixians, the board game takes the literary mechanics and masterfully shakes up the board game with new factions
