Dune: Imperium

Dune: Imperium is a strategy game that combines deck-building and worker placement. You lead one of the Great Houses in a struggle to control Arrakis and its valuable Spice, balancing political influence, military strength, economic resources and intrigue.

The struggle for Arrakis

The game lasts up to ten rounds, each shaped by a new Conflict on the planet’s surface. Conflicts can award important resources or Victory Points that bring you closer to dominance. You must choose where to commit your forces: spreading them too thin can leave your rivals strong enough to oppose you.

You compete for Influence with four factions: the Emperor, the Spacing Guild, the Bene Gesserit and the Fremen of the deep deserts. Influence can earn Victory Points, but you must decide whether to pursue your rivals’ alliances or seek other opportunities. You can also choose between political allies and military might, or economic strength and intrigue.

Cards and agents

Each round, you draw five cards from your deck. You can acquire new cards to strengthen it, and each card can be used either to send an Agent into the Imperium to gather resources or to Reveal at the end of the round to buy powerful cards. Success depends on balancing these uses and the resources available to you.

Game modes

You can play online, locally against AI, or against House Hagal. The game also includes more than a dozen Challenges and a rotating Skirmish Mode, where you compete for badges and each game differs. Achievements record your accomplishments as a leader.
