Dune: Imperium – Uprising

I've only had an opportunity to play once so far but the game has proven to be a hit with my 6 player group. The learning curve can be a bit steep but once people grasp the game, it really shines!

This is probably one of the heavier games I own, and I'm entirely not a fan of heavy strategy games. What sold me here was the 3v3 mode, and that it's a deckbuilder, so it has some randomness and requires adaptability that many strategy games don't. Your overall strategy may be similar between games, but you'll likely have that be upset by your opponents, the cards you draw, or the cards you can buy.

The 3V3 mode is quite the beast, but everyone loved it. We may just put a time limit on the next game because our first took almost 5 hours.

Got 5 plays in at 2P. We are enjoying it and are now adding in the included CHOAM module tonight. Me wifey don't like combat games but she's good with this one, lol. You can't win every battle but you'd better win the ones you need to win!

Great game! I played the original, and this one's better, though it does require deconflicting with the expansions.

A great improvement on the 1st version and allows you to play with the expansions from version 1.
