What is Rex: Final Days of an Empire
Game description from the publisher:
Rex: Final Days of an Empire, a reimagined version of Dune set in Fantasy Flight's Twilight Imperium universe, is a board game of negotiation, betrayal, and warfare in which 3-6 players take control of great interstellar civilizations, competing for dominance of the galaxy's crumbling imperial city. Set 3,000 years before the events of Twilight Imperium, Rex tells the story of the last days of the Lazax empire, while presenting players with compelling asymmetrical racial abilities and exciting opportunities for diplomacy, deception, and tactical mastery.
In Rex: Final Days of an Empire, players vie for control of vital locations across a sprawling map of the continent-sized Mecatol City. Only by securing three key locations (or more, when allied with other factions) can a player assert dominance over the heart of a dying empire.
Unfortunately, mustering troops in the face of an ongoing Sol blockade is difficult at best (unless, of course, you are the Federation of Sol or its faithless ally, the Hacan, who supply the blockading fleet). Savvy leaders must gather support from the local populace, uncover hidden weapon caches, and acquire control over key institutions. Mechanically, this means players must lay claim to areas that provide influence, which is then "spent" to (among other things) smuggle military forces through the orbiting Sol blockade. Those forces will be needed to seize the key areas of the city required to win the game. From the moment the first shot is fired, players must aggressively seek the means by which to turn the conflict to their own advantage.

What the community says about Rex: Final Days of an Empire
Es un remake de dune. Permite alianzas con otros jugadores. LAs condiciones de victoria cambian según cómo sea la alianza... si vas sólo, tienes que conseguir conquistar 4 fortalezas. En pareja 5, y un trío 6, que son todas las que hay. Hay cartas de eventos y se pueden conseguir cartas de tecnologías y mejoras. El ataque tiene un poco de faroleo. No sólo se realiza con fichas, sino que hay un marcador en el que cada uno indica cuántos soldados intervienen en el combate. Si ganas, pierdes todos esos soldados. Lo jugué hace algún tiempo y olvidé incluir la descripción, así que hablo de memor
Excellent reimplementation of the classic Dune. It would gain even more if it had the Dune license as the mechanics fit perfectly with the Dune factions.
