Dune: Imperium

Dune: Imperium is a competitive strategy board game for 1 to 4 players, set in the universe of Frank Herbert’s Dune. Players lead powerful factions and compete for control of Arrakis through political influence, deck-building, worker placement, intrigue, military conflict, and control of the spice.

Each round, your cards determine where you can send your agents and what options are available. You will gain influence with factions such as the Emperor, the Spacing Guild, the Bene Gesserit, and the Fremen, recruit troops, acquire new cards, secure resources, and decide when to fight for victory points.

Dune: Imperium combines tight Euro-style worker placement with deck-building and conflict, making it a strong choice for players who enjoy strategic planning, tactical card play, and tense competition over shifting objectives.

This is the standalone core game. It can be expanded with Rise of Ix and Immortality, and players who want the newer standalone evolution of the system can also look at Dune: Imperium – Uprising.
