{"product_id":"dune-imperium-uprising","title":"Dune: Imperium - Uprising","description":"\u003cp\u003eA development of 2020's \u003cem\u003eDune: Imperium\u003c\/em\u003e, this is pretty much a revised edition of that game (and is even more highly rated on BGG). It is, of course, based on Frank Herbert's \u003cem\u003eDune\u003c\/em\u003e books and, more obviously, the recent films. Thus, you are part of the struggle to control the desert planet of Arrakis and the all-important spice it produces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach player represents an important character from the story and has suitable special abilities. Victory points come from combat, intrigue and currying favour with the major factions (the Bene Gesserit, the Emperor, the Fremen and the Spacing Guild). And the first player to 10 points wins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMechanically, at the heart of the game are the cards with players managing their own decks and playing cards from their current hand to do things. However, much of what they do with cards is place ‘Agents’ (worker pawns) on board spaces to take the action shown. The game is a clever combination of deck-building and worker placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI finally got to play the original game, \u003cem\u003eDune: Imperium\u003c\/em\u003e, a while back and was very taken with it. However, people tell me \u003cem\u003eUprising\u003c\/em\u003e is even better, so that's what I've gone for. As well as revamping the original game, it adds a six-player game for two teams of three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI now stock the \u003cem\u003eBloodlines\u003c\/em\u003e expansion as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor 1-4 or 6 players, aged 13+, playing time 1-2 hours\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDune: Imperium - Uprising\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewas designed by Paul Dennen and is published by Dire Wolf\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFind out more:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e    \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cem\u003eDune: Imperium - Uprising\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eat\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/397598\/dune-imperium-uprising\" title=\"More about Dune: Imperium - Uprising at Boardgamegeek (in a new window)\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBoardGameGeek\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Pevans reported his introduction to\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eDune: Imperium\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ein issue 244 of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pevans.co.uk\/TWJO\/TWJO0244.pdf\" title=\"To Win Just Once magazine issue 244 (PDF, 1 Mb)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eTo Win Just Once\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e (PDF, 1 Mb) and reviewed\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eDune: Imperium – Uprising\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ein\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pevans.co.uk\/TWJO\/TWJO0256.pdf\" title=\"To Win Just Once magazine issue 256 (1 Mb)\"\u003eissue 256\u003c\/a\u003e (PDF, 1 Mb)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Games from Pevans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58452154679621,"sku":"865","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1072\/0116\/7685\/files\/Dune-Imperium-Uprising-cover.jpg?v=1783095653","url":"https:\/\/games.pevans.co.uk\/products\/dune-imperium-uprising","provider":"Games from Pevans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
