About the game
What you do in a play session
Dune: Ecaz & Moritani adds a fresh layer of intrigue and strategy to the already epic universe of Dune: The Board Game. The expansion introduces two rival houses – House Ecaz, led by the diplomatic Archduke Armand Ecaz, who seeks solid alliances, and House Moritani, commanded by Viscount Hundro Moritani, who won’t shy away from terror tactics – and brings mechanics that deepen player interaction.
The Homeworlds mechanic allows each faction to raid the home planets of others, disrupting advantages and adding tension each turn. Nexus Cards offer unique rewards for those who choose not to join an alliance, encouraging risk-taking and long‑term strategic choices. Discovery Tokens unveil board areas that often stay in the background, adding new resources and territory expansion opportunities.
The game remains true to Dune’s style, with themes of politics, economy, and power, but now with more diplomacy and direct conflict options. Playtime stays between 120 and 180 minutes, preserving a balance of depth and accessibility. If you loved the base game and want to dive deeper into Arrakis’s universe, this expansion delivers new strategies and replayability felt in every session.
For fans of influence and greater territory control, Dune: Ecaz & Moritani offers new ways to dominate the board while alliance mechanics stay central. If you enjoy tactical decisions and a rich narrative setting, you’ll relish these new challenges.
