This box contains all the exclusive content that was unlocked as stretch goals during the Dune: War for Arrakis Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign. This includes the 'Possible Futures' game mode, new miniatures for leaders, heroes, and units, along with their respective leader boards, planning cards, and tokens.
Do I need the 'Dune: War for Arrakis' base game to play with this expansion?
Yes, absolutely! This is an expansion and, as such, requires the 'Dune: War for Arrakis' base game to be played. It complements and expands the original experience; it is not a standalone game.
Will this expansion be available in regular retail stores?
No, the content of this box is explicitly described as 'Exclusive Extras' and was originally offered as stretch goals to Kickstarter backers. The intention is that it will not be available in the regular retail version of the base game.
Which factions benefit from the new miniatures?
The new miniatures represent additional leaders, heroes, and units for both main factions in the game: House Atreides and House Harkonnen. Get ready to see your armies even more imposing!
Does the 'Possible Futures' mode significantly change the game?
Yes, it introduces new mechanics and alternative timelines for the conflict on Arrakis, offering an extra layer of strategy and replayability. It's a way to explore different scenarios and challenge your usual tactics.
What is the complexity level or language dependency of this expansion?
Considering the base game and the type of content (new rules, cards), the expansion likely maintains a moderate language dependency, requiring an understanding of the text on cards and rules. A translated sheet or cards might be helpful for non-English speakers.
