Dune: Betrayal plungy you straight into the cutthroat political landscape of Frank Herbert's universe.

Players step into the shoes of iconic characters, each bringing unique-asymmetric abilities to the table. The gameplay revolves around uncovering identities, forming shaky alliances, and protecting your nobles while navigating a web of lies. You'll need to master the art of negotiation, perfect your bluffing-skills, and use voting-mechanics to weed out the traitors. It's a game of reading people as much as reading cards. If you crave intense-social interaction, psychological warfare, and a theme that hits hard, this-is your next tabletop obsession. Fast-paced, thematic, and deeply suspicious, it's the perfect way to see who your real friends are—or aren't!
