Dune Imperium Uprising Review

Dune Imperium: Uprising is an oddly difficult concept to explain. It's a completely standalone game which firmly places it outside the realms of being an expansion. At the same time, it's not quite a sequel either as it's still fundamentally the same game as Dune Imperium. *Gideon's Bias* Review Copy Used: No Number of Plays: 15 Player Counts Played: 1, 2, 3 & 4 Fan of Genre: Yes Fan of Weight: Yes Gaming Groups Thoughts: Loved It *Uprising Information* Publisher: Dire Wolf Digital Designers: Paul Dennen Player Count: 1-4 & 6 Genre: Deck Building, Worker Placement Weight: Medium Price: $60 *Pros* An excellent remake of Dune Imperium All new cards and leaders Fully compatible with other Dune Imperium products Sandworms are a great addition Improved solo play with new rival cards Streamlined clunkier aspects of the original such as the Mentat space Great artwork A highly strategic hybrid of worker placement and deck building Easy to learn *Cons* A higher skill floor than the original When playing with Rise of IX, you have to pretend that the overlays have a missing icon. The guidance on combining cards from the original is a bit sloppy *Links* Website: https://gideonsgaming.com/ Twitter:   / gideonsgaming   Patreon:   / gaminggideon   Kofi: https://ko-fi.com/gaminggideon Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/gaminggideon...
