Dune: A Game of Conquest and Diplomacy Arrives This September

This Fall will see a new board game based on the classic Frank Herbert SF novel (and upcoming film) from Gale Force Nine. Built upon the long out of print Avalon Hill game, Dune: A Game of Conquest and Diplomacy will task the players with vying to become the controlling power on the desert planet of Arrakis. The game is for two to four players, ages 12+, plays in 30 to 60 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $50.00 when it arrives September 11th.

About the game:

Take part in one of the most famous science-fiction stories of all time. Dune, A Game of Conquest and Diplomacy builds on 40 years of development, refinement, and evolution from the original classic game. It has the same beloved DNA, flavor, tension, and themes, but with new game-board design, more spice, new streamlined rules, and a new market deck from which you can purchase game advantages. Also, the brand new two-player mode really opens up new gaming opportunities, all making the game more accessible for even the most casual gamer.

In Dune, you will take control of one of the four great factions—House Atreides, House Harkonnen, the Fremen, and the Imperium—all vying to control the most valuable resource in the universe: melange, the mysterious spice only found at great cost the planet Dune. Ship your forces to Dune, harvest spice, seize control of strongholds, and destroy your enemies. Who will control Dune? You decide!
