There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The automa cards for solo play are very easy to use and the ai rivals consistently provide strong competition. There are some great videos online explaining how to play the game and I found them to be very helpful in learning the game. It isn't overly complex.
I am sure the game would be fun with more players as well.
I am not someone who knows a lot of the Dune history but have watched the latest movie version and I think the game does a very solid job of reflecting the Dune theme.
The game components and board are high quality.
I haven't purchased any of the expansions yet because I am very happy playing this original version but I am sure I will buy them at some point because they come highly rated as well.
For some reason it took about 3 weeks from the time I ordered the game until it arrived but other than that I am completely satisfied.
Both solo and 2 player game works really well
There are 8 leaders, 2 from each house(Atreides, Thorvald, Richese, Harkonnen) to choose from, each with different powers in game play. You start with a deck of 10 cards and buy more cards to your deck through "persuasion" points as you play cards from your starting hand. You have 2 agents(3rd can be obtained later as well as use of the "Mentat" for another placement) that occupy spaces on the board to gain the resources listed and can gain influence with the 4 factions(Emperor, Fremen, Bene Gesserit, and Spacing Guild), as well as handling troops to win combat for rewards. You will gain spice, solari(money), troops. and water, to be utilized in many ways around the board. The 1st player to 10 points triggers the end of the game. The cards you play, tell you where on the board you can place a worker( 7 spots on the Dune planet, 2 spots at each faction you want as allies, 5 spots of the High Council, and 2 spots of the Sell Melange[market]). Each space has a different benefit/cost/reward for placement. Victory points are gained in many ways, creating different paths to win parameters.
I would place this game in the medium weight category for complexity and time. There is a lot to take in, but it's not a tough game to learn how to play and the game time is roughly around 1-3 hours or so. 3 hours only for the 1st couple learning games, while more plays reduces it to 1-2 hours maybe. The pieces are simple and effective, with great card and board art work. This is a fun game for 1-4 players. I have not tried the solo player version yet, but the Automa(House Hagal) cards are a decent challenge. You use 2 Hagal bots in a solo game and 1 in a 2-player game. They are there to occupy spaces and add some troops to combat for competition, they gain nothing else. I've played a lot of board games, it's a big hobby for me. Dune: Imperium is a great game for enthusiasts, not the best gateway game into coaxing lighter/non-gamers into the hobby, but certainly can be used for it. It's complex, but not that complicated of a game.
My only complaints really minor. It feels like the endgame is too fast paced, once someone gets to 6 or 7 victory points, the game will be over in a round or two. I also think that the game being only 4 players is a bit of a bummer, I have a large group, and it always feels lame to cut someone out to play a different game with fewer max players. I also think that the game shouldn't be balanced around needing another "computer" opponent in 2 person games, it makes it really only the most fun to play this game with groups pf 3-4, which is a bit annoying.
But those complaints are so small. Play the game, it's great, you won't regret it
At first, when I was reading the instructions, it didn't make sense to me how the game operates, but once I started setting up the board, the cards, the tokens, everything just started making sense. The game is very thematic and if you are familiar with the source material, the Dune-feeling is there- mining spice, backdoor dealing with the Frermen, the Spacing Guild, Paul Atreides. So yes, this is a fantastic boardgame. Simple and elegant in its execution, but has very deep strategies and machinations behind. This is a worker placement game so you know how worker placement games work- place token, occupied vs unoccupied space etc. Get this game.
Top reviews from other countries
Crafted with meticulous detail, the game captures the essence of Frank Herbert's iconic universe, from the sprawling desert landscapes to the intricate political alliances. The board itself is a visual masterpiece, setting the stage for intense battles and high-stakes negotiations.
One of the standout features of Dune is its perfect balance between strategy and unpredictability.
The game's components are of exceptional quality, from the detailed miniatures representing the iconic factions to the well-designed cards and tokens. The rulebook is comprehensive, making it accessible for newcomers while offering enough depth to satisfy the most dedicated strategy enthusiasts.
What truly makes Dune an outstanding Christmas gift is its ability to bring people together. The game thrives on negotiation and cooperation, making it a perfect catalyst for memorable interactions and shared experiences.
This holiday season, dive into the world of Dune and let the games begin!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 25, 2022
まずゲームとしてよくできており面白い。いわゆるワーカープレイスメントとデッキ構築という有名なシステムを基盤に作られており、普通のボードゲーマーならすぐにプレイできるだろう。
しかし、絵柄が最新の映画「DUNE」のものであるし、ルール自体にも原作に出てくる(知っている人なら、「ああ、あれね!」)というネタを元にしたものが多いので、原作を知っている人や映画を観た人はさらに感情移入できるという意味で面白みが増すだろう。
