About the game
What you do in a play session
If you thought the fight for Arrakis was already intense, get ready to take the conflict to a galactic scale! The 'The Spacing Guild' expansion injects a massive dose of interstellar logistics and high-stakes-politics into Dune: War for Arrakis. The star of the show is the brand-new Space Board, where Guild Heighliners race through the void to deliver vital reinforcements to the planet below.
To manage this-scale-up, each player gets their own Heighliner Board. This is where you'll stage your-Imperial reinforcements, preparing them for deployment onto Arrakis. But it's not just about moving pieces; it's about playing the political game. The expansion introduces special Imperial Actions, allowing you to sway the influence of the Spacing Guild, CHOAM, or the Landsraad to your advantage. It adds a layer of strategic maneuvering that forces you to think beyond the immediate battlefield and consider the-wider-galactic-consequences. If you want to turn your-local-skirmish into a true-interstellar-war-for-dominance, this expansion is your next-must-have!
