Dire Wolf Dune: Imperium - Uprising

Great game. Nice thematic update to the original Dune:Imperium.

Great game! Very well designed. Best with 4 players. 6 player was very interesting. The sandworms offer great risk vs reward. Honestly how can you not have sandworms and spies in a dune universe game? At 50 dollars great value and replay.

Es ist nicht umsonst ganz oben dabei, bei BGG. Das erste Spiel dauert länger, aber die Regeln sind an sich logisch und gut erklärt. Die Box des Brettspiels kam zwar etwas ramponiert für die 80 € die ich gezahlt habe und hatten etwas Sand, aber immerhin ist es sehr thematisch. Kann das Spiel auf jeden fall weiterempfehlen, auch wenn man die Filme nicht gesehen hat, aber ein cooles Sci-Fi Setting will. Man sollte aber beachten das es schwieriger ist und man sich erst mal auf dem Spielplan zurecht finden muss.

Excelente compra ... o jogo base é estratégico e superior a versão anterior ... agora com muito mais opção para pontuar ... recomendo

I love the base game Dune: Imperium, and it's become an instant favorite among my friends. (I haven't played the expansions as I find the OG game is stellar on its own, and I'm not a huge fan of buying expansions, given that I'd usually rather just put that money towards a new game.) Dune: Imperium Uprising is largely the same game in terms of its core mechanics (and can even be mixed and matched with the original D:I, if you were so inclined), but it really shakes things up in interesting ways. It has things like: new heroes to command, each with their own unique abilities; new/rebalanced board spaces; new and arguably more interesting cards; more things to do (eg. the optional CHOAM contracts) and spend resources on, meaning solari is actually useful in the late game; sandworms that you can ride into battle, buffing your combat strength and doubling your combat rewards... while it's all very similar at its core, it still manages to feel fresh, more balanced, and all around more impactful. It may not be for everyone, however. The original D:I is usually very tense with close games until the final moments, whereas the sandworms doubling conflict rewards can potentially mean someone earning as much as 5 (!) victory points in one conflict if they play their cards right (out of the 10 points required to trigger the end game). Games can be much more swingy as a result, so if you're not down with that, the original may be more your speed. In spite of that, I still think I'd recommend D:IU as the version to get, regardless if you're new to D:I or not. Both versions are fantastic, and the original is still a near perfect game in my eyes... This one just smooths over some of the minor complaints I had with it (and who doesn't want to command sand worms to fight for them, c'mon).
