How it plays

Score victory points through faction influence, alliances, battles, contracts, and other objectives. On your turn, play a card to place an agent and use a board space, or reveal your remaining cards to buy new cards and commit troops; spies and sandworms open further options. The game ends after ten rounds or when someone reaches 10 points, and most points wins.

Full publisher description

In Dune: Imperium Uprising , you want to continue to balance military might with political intrigue, wielding new tools in pursuit of victory. Spies will shore up your plans, vital contracts will expand your resources, or you can learn the ways of the Fremen and ride mighty sandworms into battle! Dune: Imperium Uprising is a standalone spinoff to Dune: Imperium that expands on that game's blend of deck-building and worker placement, while introducing a new six-player mode that pits two teams against one other in the biggest struggle yet. The Dune: Imperium expansions Rise of Ix and Immortality work with Uprising , as do almost all of the cards from the base game, and elements of Uprising can be used with Dune: Imperium . The choices are yours. The Imperium awaits!
