Dune: War for Arrakis is coming soon to Kickstarter from CMON. It’s a new entry in the Dune board game library. So, what sets this one apart? Well, there’s the Action Dice system, of which we get a look at in this Design Diary entry.
Dear Diary:
Hi! My name is Michele Garbuggio, and I am a game developer who has been collaborating for some years now with Marco Maggi and Francesco Nepitello on several games of their design. For CMON, I have provided additional content and development for games such as Zombicide: Chronicles RPG and Trudvang Legends. I’m especially fond of roleplaying games and a long-time fan of the Dune franchise. My contributions to Dune: War for Arrakis include additional development, tireless playtesting, and special care that the game is true to our beloved literary sources in all its aspects.
In this Design Diary entry, I will delve into the rules that govern Dune: War for Arrakis. In the game, the various stages of the Desert War between the Atreides and the Harkonnens are enacted using a mechanic that is already familiar to long-standing fans of War of the Ring: the Action Dice system.
