Arrakis is a seemingly dead and barren desert world, but it is home to the galaxy's most important resource: spice. Without Spice, space travel is impossible and humans become small clusters on isolated planets. The noble house that controls Arrakis and spice production wields great power. The Emperor gave Arrakis to House Atreides, but then 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 of House Atreides, are alive and organizing a rebellion with the help of the fearsome Fremen, the mysterious inhabitants of the arid expanses of Arrakis.
Only one house will emerge victorious from the coming struggle, while the other will be lost in the desert sands. It is into this dark reality that players will be immersed in Dune: War for Arrakis.
In this asymmetric 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 allow players to tell the Dune saga differently each game.
