Dune: War for Arrakis

Dune: War for Arrakis – an epic asymmetric strategy board game set on Arrakis, where players lead powerful Houses in warfare, spice harvesting, and political intrigue.

The spice must flow—and only one House will command Arrakis! Seize spice, deploy troops, and outmaneuver rivals in Dune: War for Arrakis, a rich strategic conflict under the desert sun.

How the Game Works

Players embody distinct factions—such as Atreides, Harkonnen, Fremen, or Emperor—each with unique abilities and victory objectives. Place units across territories, harvest spice, participate in treachery auctions, and resolve battles with hidden dice bids. Storms and giant sandworms add unpredictable hazards.

The game unfolds over rounds of deployment, harvest, bidding, and combat. Destroy strongholds or control a set number to win. Asymmetric powers and dynamic interactions make each session tense and rewarding.
