Players represent alien races attempting to expand across five foreign worlds. They challenge other players and seek assistance from interested parties. Unique alien powers allow players to bend or break game rules, adding strategic depth to the encounters. This edition includes significant changes, such as one-time-use tokens, categorized moons with varying impacts, and the introduction of new cards and mechanics.

Players control a tribe of Fremen warriors fighting to gather the scarce resources of Arrakis, develop weapons, and harness the power of sandworms for battle. The gameplay is divided into three sections: the last part of setup, an initiation cycle to ease players into the game, and multiple phases in each cycle until victory is achieved. You can conquer Arrakis by controlling a winning number of territories at the end of the action phase or through unanimous decision of the council when all players agree you cannot be hindered from victory.

The sky people have retreated above the clouds, leaving the Borderlands to decay. In this post-apocalyptic world, scavengers survive on the remnants of the past and the waste from the floating cities. Players gather resources to build towering skyworks, strengthen their military power, and navigate the dangers posed by rival gangs. To succeed, they must effectively transport their resources, protect them, and invest wisely in their constructions. Can you forge a new future from the rusted remains of the past?
