What is Dune: Imperium

Dune: Imperium is a game that uses deck building to add a hidden information angle to traditional worker placement. It finds inspiration in elements and characters from the Dune legacy, both the new film from Legendary Pictures and the seminal literary series from Frank Herbert, Brian Herbert, and Kevin J. Anderson.

As a leader of one of the Great Houses of the Landsraad, raise your banner and marshal your forces and spies. War is coming, and at the center of the conflict is Arrakis – Dune, the desert planet.

You start with a unique leader card, as well as a deck identical to those of your opponents. As you acquire cards and build your deck, your choices will define your strengths and weaknesses. Cards allow you to send your Agents to certain spaces on the game board, so how your deck evolves affects your strategy. You might become more powerful militarily, able to deploy more troops than your opponents. Or you might acquire cards that give you an edge with the four political factions represented in the game: the Emperor, the Spacing Guild, the Bene Gesserit, and the Fremen.

Unlike many deck building games, you don’t play your entire hand in one turn. Instead, you draw a hand of cards at the start of every round and alternate with other players, taking one Agent turn at a time (playing one card to send one of your Agents to the game board). When it’s your turn and you have no more Agents to place, you’ll take a Reveal turn, revealing the rest of your cards, which will provide Persuasion and Swords. Persuasion is used to acquire more cards, and Swords help your troops fight for the current round’s rewards as shown on the revealed Conflict card.

Dune imperium es todo lo que esta bien, desde la mecanica y desde lo tematico. A 4 es el numero perfecto, pero El Automa es una delicia, anda solo. SOLIDO 10.

Me encanta este juego. No me canso de jugarlo. Las mecánicas de colocación de trabajadores junto con el deckbuilding casan muy bien. Me flipa la temática de Dune, le sienta muy bien. A veces puede depender un poco de la suerte que la partida se decante para un jugador u otro, pero así es la vida!

Juego ambientado en el universo Dune, de colocación de trabajadores y con mecánica de Deck Building. Muy interesante y con gran rejugabilidad. Es una carrera a la obtención de 10 puntos (eso determina el final de la partida). Muchos combos y mucha rejugabilidad. Eso sí, casi exclusivamente para jugones. Las reglas no son complicadas,pero es un poco farragoso de explicar por la multitud de detallitos, pero es un juegazo y hacía tiempo que no me causaba tan grata impresión un juego que acababa de conocer.
