## What is Dune?

Immerse yourself in the world of Dune. 

Experience the ultimate blend of strategy and intrigue as you navigate the treacherous landscapes of Arrakis in the award-winning board game Dune: Imperium!

Battle online, locally with AI, or against the formidable House Hagal.

Earn Achievements that showcase your prowess as a leader.

Embark on more than a dozen Challenges that will test your wit and cunning.

Compete for badges in the rotating Skirmish Mode where no two games are the same!

Control the Spice. Control the Universe.

Arrakis. Dune. Desert Planet. Raise your banner above the vast wasteland before you. As the Great Houses of the Landsraad marshal their forces and their spies, whom will you influence, and whom will you betray? A tyrannical Emperor. The secretive Bene Gesserit. The shrewd Spacing Guild. The ferocious Fremen of the Deep Desert. The power of the Imperium can be yours, but war is not the only way to claim it.

Dune: Imperium blends deck-building and worker placement in a deeply thematic new strategy game where the fate of the Empire hangs on your decisions. Will you seek political allies or rely upon military might? Economic strength or subtle intrigues? A council seat… or a sharpened blade? The cards are dealt. The choice is yours. The Imperium awaits.

### 5/5 — Fav

*2026-08-17, version 4.0.9*

Best game of all time!

### 3/5 — Love the concept and the books and the movies

*2026-08-14, version 4.0.9*

So being a fan of the Dune books, movies and pretty much anything Dune immediately drawn to this game I’m walking through the tutorial now and ask for a review which I feel like is a little soon. If you ask me for a review and it does seem very complicated, but I intend to stick with it because complicated games usually give the most replayability looking forward to spending time figuring this out there is also a due imperium board game

### 5/5 — The best board game app.

*2026-08-04, version 4.0.9*

The best board game and the best board game app. What more could you wish for ?

### 5/5 — Very impressed

*2026-08-03, version 4.0.9*

Derw has done an excellent job creating a game that captures the feel of the films and replicates the board game of the same name.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2026-08-03, version 4.0.9*

The tutorial is amazing. The game is amazing. But this game has soooo much luck. Literally makes games like Lost around of Arnak look the holy grail example of balance.

### 5/5 — 5 Star Digital Version

*2026-08-02, version 4.0.9*

This digital  version of Dune Imperium Uprising is so beautifully designed. Absolutely love it!

### 3/5 — Creating Multiplayer Games is Horrible

*2026-07-30, version 4.0.9*

The Uprising expansion is great, but the app took a huge step backwards with how you make private online games.

### 5/5 — Best Game

*2026-07-20, version 4.0.9*

This is my favorite board game. I’m so glad it’s on an app that I can play anytime.

### 5/5 — Must have

*2026-07-19, version 4.0.9*

Dune fan? Get it. Card deck building fan ? Get it. Strategy gamer? Get it.

### 5/5 — Favorite board game

*2026-07-16, version 4.0.9*

Bought this to play solo on travels well designed and plays well 
My favorite of all time

Ai is great and still claps me 

When are they going to release bloodlines and a ranked mode
