Dune: Imperium
Description
Conquer Arrakis by combining political intrigue, resource management and military conflict! Dune: Imperium is one of the most acclaimed hybrid Eurogames of recent years, masterfully mixing Deck Building with Worker Placement. Players lead an influential house in the Dune universe, using cards to send agents to key spaces, gain influence with factions (Bene Gesserit, Fremen, Empire, Spacing Guild), and deploy troops in decisive conflicts. The genius of the design lies in the dual function of the cards: they serve both to obtain resources and to access exclusive action spaces. Each round culminates in a military conflict that awards crucial rewards. If you are looking for a modern, tense, highly replayable strategic game with a powerful and recognizable science fiction theme, Dune: Imperium is the perfect ending to any top board game. It's depth, interaction and elegance in one box.
