Content Notes: Kickstarter Exclusive Dune: War for Arrakis Board Game by CMON. Includes core game and all applicable unlocked stretch goals. Please note: unless otherwise stated paid add ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included.

Arrakis is a desert world seemingly dead and barren, yet here lies the most important resource in the galaxy: Spice. Without Spice, space travel is impossible, and humans become little clusters on isolated planets. The noble House that controls Arrakis and the production of Spice wields great power. The Emperor gave Arrakis to House Atreides, but then he conspired to replace them with their old rivals, House Harkonnen. Baron Harkonnen crushed the Atreides in a treasonous attack, and now rules the planet with an iron fist. But Paul and Jessica, heirs to House Atreides, are alive, and are mounting a rebellion with the aid of the formidable Fremen, the mysterious inhabitants of the barren expanses of Arrakis. 

Only one House will emerge victorious from the coming struggle, while the other will be lost in the desert sands. It's into this grim reality that players will be thrust in Dune: War for Arrakis. In this asymmetrical strategy game, players fight for control of the planet, maneuvering troops like the Fremen, the Fedaykin, and the fearsome Sardaukar, while sending Spice harvesters into the deep desert, daring to challenge the great Sandworms. The game features an action dice system with numerous event cards that will enable players to retell the Dune saga differently with each playthrough.

Customer Reviews (4.3 / 5 · 4 reviews)

Owen H. ★★★★★

I finally got the Kickstarter pre-order in and the 1-4 player flexibility is great for my game nights. The combat cards add real tension to each siege on Arrakis.

Daniel ★★★★★

The asymmetric factions feel perfectly balanced, and the 1-4 player scaling actually works without dragging the game down. Having that player count flexibility is a huge plus for my group.

Sophia ★★★★☆

The 1-4 player range is perfect for our group since we usually only have three on game night, and the asymmetric factions give each side a totally different feel. Docking a star because the 2026 delivery date is a long wait, but the Kickstarter exclusive content makes it worth holding out for.
