I can't understand these kinds of games, and not getting it bugs me almost as much as me being weird

I was literally posting to say this then I typed the words above instead; I'm so sorry

Here's an article on the excellent old Dune boardgame, which I played at a sci fi convention when I was 15 and sat next to a girl who was kind of hot but had smelly feet (I think she was the harknnones)

wowow

That has a bunch of illustrations i've never seen before, even if they're kinda small. Too cool


e: I'm not super familiar with those old style games, but at a glance it kind of reminds me of Steve Jackson's Illuminati on crack. and/or steroids

I bought a slightly used copy of this in 2009 for $75 and modified it with a few new cards/features (I think it's way more atm, but I may be wrong) My friends and I play it 2-3 times a year and I can confirm that it is "game theory in a box" and just about the most intertesting and complex board game ever created. Definitely hoping that it finally gets reissued when the new movie comes out because the rights to the boardgame have been in limbo for literal decades.

Seems p interesting and I wonder why having the homeworlds expansion was pointless, that seems on the face to be a cool idea that might add to the game. If the landsraad was in it could have a really strong "homeworld" that actually represents the combined homeworlds of various other houses that don't have their own strong presence on Arrakis.

The board game rules and after playing it once I bought the Descartes French reissue that was out at the time. I don't think we managed to finish that first game, but I did help cause a nuclear holocaust as emperor which is good enough for me. Given @Duneauthor's dumbass refusal to renew the license I made the right choice even if I have to refer to a translation guide on top of the already convoluted experience. If anything it adds to it.

Descartes also redid the art with new pulp comic book style stuff along with packing in both expansions.

It's dope as hell, and most of a 6-10 hour play session is spent arguing over rule interpretations, just like a character in the book! The art for the original version is the best tho, the 5 BG ladies look like the ultimate Dame Squad

I feel like there's some kind of framework that allows you to play arbitrarily-ruled tabletop games online and this can probably hammered into shape so it plays tabletop dune
