Should you buy Dune: War for Arrakis?
Dune: War for Arrakis is from the creators of War of the Ring and from the publishers of Brass: Birmingham, the number one rated board game on BoardGameGeek. That’s quite the reputation to live up to, but it has a winning combination of engaging gameplay and gorgeously detailed miniatures that delivers on that reputation.
This strategy board game tasks players with joining the side of House Harkonnen or House Atreides in the heated fight for control of Arrakis and its spice. Through the means of action dice and event cards, you drive your troops to take control of the planet and further the exciting storyline. Depending on the House you choose to play as, these troops can be Fremen, Fedaykin, or Sardaukar, and each type of warrior has their own distinct advantages to help deliver you to victory.
If all that sounds up your alley, you should definitely consider taking advantage of this great deal.
