Dune: Imperium – Uprising is a standalone game that is fully compatible with Dune: Imperium and its expansions Rise of Ix and Immortality.

The game is set in Frank Herbert’s epic science-fiction universe—on the desert planet Arrakis, the sole source of the precious resource “Spice,” which enables interstellar travel. Players take on the roles of leaders of great houses, factions, or influential individuals vying for control of the planet through military strength, political alliances, and economic maneuvering.

This standalone sequel to Dune: Imperium combines two popular mechanics:

• Deckbuilding: Each player starts with a basic deck of cards and upgrades it throughout the game with stronger, more specialized cards.
• Worker placement: Players send their agents to various locations on the board to gather resources, recruit troops, forge alliances, and influence the outcome of conflicts.

In addition to these core mechanics, Uprising introduces:

• Military clashes using soldiers and new units—such as sandworms—that add extra combat power.
• Spies, which allow more flexible agent placement, even on already occupied spaces.
• CHOAM contracts, adding extra objectives and scoring opportunities.
• Intrigue cards, enabling tactical moves during the game or even at its conclusion.

If you’re drawn to the world of Dune, strategic gameplay, or the combination of deckbuilding and worker placement, Dune: Imperium – Uprising is an outstanding choice. It’s a more refined and thematically rich version of an already highly successful original game.
