Dune, A Game of Conquest and Diplomacy builds on 40 years of development, refinement and evolution from the original classic game.

This is NOT a reskin of the classic Dune game, re-published in 2019. It has the same beloved DNA, flavour, tension and themes, BUT with beautiful new game board design, updated look and feel to reflect the upcoming film, more spice, new streamlined rules, and a new market deck where you can purchase game advantages.

The brand new 2-player mode really opens up new gaming opportunities, all making the game more accessible for even the most casual gaming nights where not quite such a time / player number commitment is required. For this reason, Dune, A Game of Conquest and Diplomacy doesn’t replace the original classic Dune, but sits next to it in the cabinet / on the shelf.

In Dune, A Game of Conquest and Diplomacy you will take control of one of the four great factions–House Atreides, House Harkonnen, the Fremen, and the Imperium, all vying to control the most valuable resource in the universe: melange, the mysterious spice only found at great cost on the planet Dune.

Ship your forces to Dune, harvest spice, seize control of strongholds, and destroy your enemies.

Designed by the same team that brought you the original classic game, Peter Olotka, Jack Kitteredge, Bill Eberle, Greg Olotka & Jack Reda

"streamlined" and "two player" make me supremely interested in this. I swerved getting a copy of the reprint because despite being a great game it would have instantly toaded. Some revision to better suit lower player count puts it back into kissable territory; I just hope that the game hasn't lost anything in the translation. Really stoked to see more about this.

Huh, it's been a LONG while since I've played Dune but using movie characters/stills seems risky since I don't think the film (part 1) even has major book characters casts yet, like Feyd. I mean, it's obvious it should be Sting regardless but I wonder if this was an issue.

I am so desperately curious to see how this film turns out.

The film is going to be excellent. Every single thing Villeneuve has touched has been exceptional.

Agreed, the film will be great. I can't imagine a universe in which it is not. I got the Dune reprint at launch, and it got played exactly once. I would like to play it again, but making it happen is a huge endeavor. I suspect it will sit there, waiting in the dark, until it is again called upon.

I highly doubt I'd buy Dune Lite. But who knows.

My concern with the film is that we’re only getting half the first book ; if it doesn’t perform well enough we won’t see the second half. Reminds me of the utter disappointment in high school when we saw the Bakshi Lord of the Rings and were left hanging after Helms Deep - and never saw the conclusion.

I think it is inevitable we won't see part 2 no matter how well it is does, at least a part 2 that really feels like the second half of a complete film. It has been several years now for the actors, who knows if they even have a script for part 2, firing everything back up could take a few more years. The Paul Atredies actor will be playing his dad

They really should have done all the principle photography back to back.
