About the game
If you ever felt that the political maneuvering in Arrakis could be even more sinister and experimental, get your stillsuit ready! Dune: Imperium – Immortality isn't just more content for the base game; it's a deep dive into the dark practices of the Bene Tleilax. Forget traditional diplomacy for a moment and plunge into the realm of genetic manipulation and forbidden science.

In this expansion, the game gains layers of complexity that will shake up your deck-building and worker placement strategies. You'll have the chance to deal with Face Dancers, spies operating in the shadows, and even Gholas—beings restored to life who bring immense potential along with unknown dangers. The big highlight here is the ability to 'graft' cards together, allowing you to empower your Agents in ways the original game never dreamed of.

The focus is on expanding the possibilities of scientific research and shady deals. You'll need to decide whether to invest in genetic innovations for an edge or focus on maintaining control over the traditional factions. It's a high-stakes game where science and politics merge to create an atmosphere of constant tension. If you love the mechanics of Dune: Imperium and want to feel the board evolving into something denser and more technically challenging, Immortality is the upgrade you've been waiting for. Get ready to manipulate the DNA of your victory!
