About the game
What you do in a play session
In 'Dune: Imperium – Uprising', the saga of Arrakis continues, and you are the master of your own destiny on the most coveted planet in the universe. This standalone game, yet fully compatible with the original 'Dune: Imperium', elevates the already acclaimed blend of deck-building and worker placement to a new level. Prepare to balance military might with political intrigue, wielding new tools to achieve victory.
The big news here is the introduction of a six-player mode, where two teams face off in an epic struggle for control of the Imperium, adding a strategic layer of cooperation and rivalry. Furthermore, 'Uprising' brings fresh elements to your gameplay: spies that can bolster your plans, vital contracts to expand your resources, and the chance to delve deeper into the ways of the Fremen, perhaps even riding a sandworm into battle!
And the best part? Almost all cards from the base game 'Dune: Imperium' can be used here, and the 'Rise of Ix' and 'Immortality' expansions are also compatible, allowing you to customize your gaming experience in incredible ways. 'Uprising' is not just an expansion; it's a new gateway to the Dune universe, offering deep strategic choices and a renewed challenge, whether you're an Arrakis veteran or a newcomer ready to conquer the Imperium. The choices are yours, and the Imperium awaits your command!
