Dune Board Game Expansion Announced

Good on GF9. Maybe this push me towards picking up the new copy. I've been pleased with my OG, but I do like adding expansion boxes onto my shelf of consumption.

I don't even know if I'm being sarcastic or not. Damn, do I need another cup.

Seriously though, all good things here. NEED MORE SPICE!

This was probably inevitable. The original game did see expansion factions published (if memory serves) in an issue of Avalon Hill's The General, but they were widely panned and almost no one used them. There were also the box expansions for The Harvest and The Duel that most players consider a hot mess at best.

GF9 has the opportunity to fix some or all of that this time around. I'll be cautiously optimistic, but keep my Holtzmann shield activated due to all the rules ambiguities they left into this new edition.

I'm usually an expansion junkie, but I'm not sure I need more variety in a game that needs 6 players and I'm lucky to play once a year. I like the idea that Dune is a complete game as is.

I’ve been playing this game for years and I find it difficult to imagine it being changed for the better at this point. But the expansion is cheap so I’ll pick it up just to have it.
