The new masterpiece from CMON is themed around DUNE!
A world stands on four things…
The wisdom of the sage, the justice of the great, the prayers of the righteous, and the valor of the brave.
But all of this is nothing… without a leader who knows the art of ruling.
Dune: The War for Arrakis is a strategic and thematic board game centered around the events of the Desert War described in the famous novel Dune by Frank Herbert.
The infamous House Harkonnen – with the support of the imperial Corrino family – is engaged in a terrible clash with what remains of House Atreides and its allies, the sand-dwelling Fremen, for control of Arrakis and its invaluable resource: the spice melange.
In this thrilling asymmetrical game, House Harkonnen aims to conquer Arrakis with its troops and ensure that the spice continues to flow so as not to lose the support of the great powers of the Imperium.
Meanwhile, the young Paul Muad’Dib of the Atreides – who has become the messiah – must lead the Fremen rebels and fight against his prescient visions, juggling between the future of Arrakis, the relentless jihad, and the fate of the Kwisatz Haderach.
While the Harkonnen rely on their vehicles – like the ornithopters and transport wings – to move their troops and avoid the dangers of the sands, the Atreides harness the power of the desert by riding the colossal sandworms into battle. Each faction employs specific strategies to achieve their victory conditions, through unique commanders and peculiar planning cards.
The war for Arrakis begins… now.
