From the creators of War of the Ring comes a new strategic game, but here we have swapped fantasy for Science Fiction in Dune: War for Arrakis! On Arrakis, a desert planet that appears dead and barren, lies the most important resource in the galaxy: Spice. Without Spice, space travel is impossible and people become isolated on their respective planets. The House that controls Arrakis and the production of Spice wields great power.

The Emperor gave Arrakis to House Atreides, but then planned to replace them with their old rivals, House Harkonnen. Baron Harkonnen crushed Atreides in a treacherous attack and now rules the planet with an iron fist. But Paul and Jessica, heirs to House Atreides, are alive and lead a rebellion with the help of the feared Fremen, the mysterious inhabitants of Arrakis' barren expanses.

In this asymmetric strategy game, players fight for control of the planet by maneuvering troops such as the Fremen, Fedaykin, and the feared Sardaukar, while daring to challenge the great sandworms by sending Spice Harvesters into the desert. The game features an action-dice system with several event cards that allow players to tell the Dune saga in different ways each game. Only one House will emerge victorious from the coming battle, while the other will be lost in the desert sands.
