There's also Chani, Count Fenring, Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Saudaukar Commanders add a bit of individuality to players' soldiers. Players can hire them (from the Emperor - he's partial to a bit of cash) on certain action spaces and deploy them like other troops. When involved in a conflict, players may use their special abilities (chosen when hired).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe big addition is the 'Tech' module. This adds a side board (the 'Ixian Embassy') for a display of 'Tech' tiles which players may buy with Spice. Each provides a once-a-turn special ability that can be used as noted on the tile. Essentially, like the CHOAM contracts, it's a way of adding to what you can do. At a cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course you choose which, if any, of these to add to your current game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWith base game: for 1-4 or 6 players, aged 12+, playing time 1-2 hours\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"GFPStd\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDune: Imperium - Bloodlines\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewas designed by Paul Dennen and is published by Dire Wolf\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"GFPStd\"\u003eFind out more:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e    \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cem\u003eDune: Imperium - Bloodlines\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eat\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgameexpansion\/426129\/dune-imperium-bloodlines\" title=\"More about Dune: Imperium - Bloodlines at Boardgamegeek (in a new window)\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBoardGameGeek\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Games from Pevans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58452154646853,"sku":"911","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1072\/0116\/7685\/files\/Dune-Imperium-Bloodlines-cover.jpg?v=1783095653","url":"https:\/\/games.pevans.co.uk\/products\/dune-imperium-bloodlines-expansion","provider":"Games from Pevans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
