The games in the Bazaar L'As des jeux are pre-played. They have been inspected by one of our gaming experts and are certified 'Complete'. Some minor imperfections may be found, such as slight wear on the box or certain game pieces.

Arrakis appears to be nothing more than an endless desert, scorching, hostile, and nearly dead. Yet this planet holds the most important resource in the galaxy: spice. Without it, space travel is impossible and imperial power begins to crumble. In Dune: War for Arrakis - Exclusive Edition, players enter the brutal struggle between House Atreides and House Harkonnen, where every decision can shape the future of the Imperium.

This strategy game is deeply asymmetric, with each side following different objectives, strengths, and tactical rhythms. House Harkonnen seeks to maintain control of Arrakis, exploit spice production, and crush all resistance. Paul, Jessica, and the Fremen instead rely on mobility, desert knowledge, rebellion, and the terrifying unpredictability of the great sandworms.

The action dice system drives every round with tense choices. Deploying troops, moving spice harvesters, triggering events, launching attacks, or using iconic character abilities becomes a matter of timing and priority. Event cards add variety and allow players to retell the Dune saga differently in every game.

You will enjoy Dune: War for Arrakis - Exclusive Edition if you love expert strategy games, epic confrontations, and highly thematic settings. Fans of area control, narrative war games, and asymmetric strategy will discover an intense, immersive, and highly replayable experience.

Interesting fact: Dune: War for Arrakis was designed by Marco Maggi and Francesco Nepitello, also known for War of the Ring.

The game was designed by Marco Maggi and Francesco Nepitello, with artwork by Henning Ludvigsen, Stefano Moroni, Paolo Parente, and Steve Prescott.
