Dire Wolf Uprising Expansion

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.

I really admire: Wide range of strategies. There are many mechanics. I mean really many: 1. Nine leaders, each with one active and one passive skill. 2. Deck cards (nearly all of them are unique) 3. Intrigue cards 4. Conflict cards 5. Contracts 6. Agents 7. Spies 8. Four factions 9. Three areas 10. Three different resources. 11. Soldiers 12. Sandworms 13. Persuasion That brings different ways of gaining advantage over your opponents, spoiling their plans and obtaining keys to victory. Yet, your opponents also have arsenal of weapons and tools. The mind games of weaving your plans through the plans of your opponents feels great. Potential for replaying. While chosen leaders add much to shaping strategies, yet each game is going to be unique since the cards in personal decks will be different every time. What I would improve: Slight balance asymmetry. Areas of Landsraad and faction of Emperor seem to be somewhat less appealing if compared to other areas and factions. (As I have seen on the review of add-on "Dune: Imperium Bloodlines", this issue has been recognized and dealt with)

One of the best board game out there if you love strategy and deck-building. Uprising adds even more depth and tension to the base game without overcomplicating things. Every decision feels meaningful, and the new mechanics keep each play fresh and competitive. If you’re into strategic games, this one’s a must-have.

Great game, stand alone but consider getting Bloodlines expansion too to balance out the worms. Also print or get someone to print an insert for the box to combine both.

I am already bananas over Dune: Imperium but after playing Uprising, which feels like a much tighter, fraught experience where resources like Water are even more precious. The addition of spies is really cool and though I’ve only played it once, I can tell you I already like it better and we didn’t even get to tame any worms!? Not only that but the Imperium deck seems to have far more interesting cards in it than the Imperium deck from Dune: Imperium as well as more fully realized Leader cards. Also combat plays a far greater role than in the previous version of Dune: Imperium from Dire Wolf. I was absolutely obsessed with a different version of this game from Avalon Hill that I bought in the early 80s but this version of Dune is far more interesting and Shown are custom tokens for the Alliances from BuyTheSameToken.

This is a great board game that does a superb job keeping up with the lore of Dune and cranks up the chaos. If you have the original there is still added benefit to upgrading to this expansion. The sandworms are massive and hungry. Each conflict feels like and MMA fight on Arrakis. The them is great, the tension tense, and the game is accessible to the most power hungry diplomat who strategies away, to my young son of 8 who is like let me get that spice and anyone in my way feels destruction

I was hesitant to buy this since I have the first version of Dune: Imperium and I heard Uprising is very similar (to the point where all the expansions still work). However, after trying it, I think the new mechanics are a great addition and new spaces are better balanced for more interesting gameplay. I would recommend getting this version if you're a fan of the original version.

One of my favorite board games this year. Would recommend with 3-4 players!

Really good game!

Escelente jogo

Have played original Dune Imperium a few times. Uprising introduces a couple of new features, and is definitely an improvement. We are addicted. Eventually, will look at expansions, but there's a lot of replayability in the base game

Ottimo gioco, lo avevo preso di mira fin dal primo annuncio. Molto complesso, è vero, però è davvero completo e variabile. Nessuna partita è mai uguale all'altra. Questa versione è in inglese ma prossimamente verrà anche tradotto, tuttavia si parla di un inglese molto semplice che non costituisce una barriera linguistica. La qualità delle pedine e delle carte è molto buona.

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