Dune: War for Arrakis*
Arrakis is a seemingly barren desert world, harboring the galaxy's most vital resource: Spice. Control over Spice means power, and the House Atreides, initially given dominion over Arrakis by the Emperor, faces betrayal from the House Harkonnen, leading to a fierce struggle for survival. Players engage in asymmetric strategy, maneuvering factions like the Fremen and Sardaukar, while sending Spice Harvesters into the desert and challenging mighty sandworms, all within a system rich with action dice and event cards that bring the Dune saga to life with every playthrough.
