How it plays

Build influence, military strength, and technology to earn the most victory points. On your turn, play a card to place an agent and resolve its board space, recruit commanders, claim contracts or tech, and commit forces to conflicts; later, reveal your remaining cards to buy new ones and support combat. The game ends after the final conflict or when someone reaches 10 points; highest score wins.

Main mechanics

  • Hand management
  • Deck / bag building
  • Hand management: Timing which card to spend is the core puzzle.
  • Deck / bag building: You shape your own deck or bag of resources as you play.
Full publisher description

The Great Houses of the Imperium live and die by their lineage. Plots unfold over generations as Emperors build dynasties, and the Bene Gesserit weave prophecy into reality. As alliances rise and fall, leaders face a single question: How far will you go to secure your bloodline? Bloodlines expands both Dune: Imperium and Uprising with powerful new tools to achieve victory. Recruit Sardaukar Commanders to bolster your fighting force. Unlock the potential of all-new Tech tiles. New Leaders, Contracts, and cards open more strategic possibilities than ever before. War sweeps across the universe, and only the strongest Bloodlines will survive. description from the publisher
