The hobby maniacs at Modiphius are constantly pumping out some amazing games! If you’ve been looking for some alternative games to play, you have to see what they have going on. Their new Dune game looks like it will be a ton of fun, and let’s be honest, who doesn’t want to control the Spice? With the movie getting a reboot in 2021, it’s the perfect time to get into an RPG about it.
While movies are great, the books are some of the coolest sci-fi novels out there and have inspired a ton of enthusiasts. If you’ve been looking for a new game to play, this may be just the thing. Let’s take a look at the preorder!
Core Rulebook Standard Edition: $60.73
The new book gives you everything you need to play the game (other than dice, but don’t worry, you can buy those separately or in a bundle). You can take your characters through the world of dune and hopefully you survive! Let’s hear what they have to say about the game:
- Everything you need to create your own stories of intrigue and adventure on the sands of Arrakis as agents of a powerful noble House.
