I’ve played the OG and Dune Imperium- and if someone who is a euro gamer, I have to say if you want to feel like you are playing the movie/book the OG Dune is what does it. I’m not sure how one would teach that game but it’s so full of intriguing negotiation, and you don’t know what’s gonna happen, and at the last minute, I pulled out a win which was a complete shock. I mean this is not the style of game I play at all. But if you want to put the time into learning it and have six players, the OG is a very interesting experience.

OG is one of our favorite game of all time. Not so hard to teach, it have a built in teacher mechanic... the Atreides faction. Because atre can see any treachery card (almost any) you can easily help out new players with tips and tricks. Always go full advanced, altough the advanced battle is a bit complicated for new players, but advance is something special.

I've played the original Dune board game for many years, and I'm so happy the new Dune movies are bringing attention to this game. At 6 players, the game play is legendary. The game is filled with surprises and the game sessions are memorable. I love Dune Imperium as well, but the original Dune board game is unsurpassed when playing with 6 players.

OG Dune is the only one I’ve played so far, but that okay. It goes down as the only game I’ve ranked 10/10. I’ve had a game end in 10 min because a Bene Gesserit was grossly underestimated, and had a game go on over six hours because of shifting alliances. If you want to experience Dune, for me, the original is where it’s at!

Dune the boardgame is Dune in the box and thus my fav of all time... it's complex, with plans within plans, exceptions everywhere etc. But, let's face it, as much as I love it, it's very difficult to teach. Too long. And, to really enjoy it, you need to "roleplay" it. So finding 6 people to play that game is really challenging. Now, with Villeneuve's movies, maybe that game I liked will come back in style

Dune the board game just may be the greatest epic game ever BUT it is definitely not for everyone. It needs to be at 6 (5 at least) and it is a very long game (usually 6+) so it is hard to get to the table. The basic rules are straight forward BUT there is an exception for everything. Then throw on top everyone has their own powers which gives someone an advantage at every part of the game. It is heavy in flexible strategy with so much talking, negotiation, betrayal, lies, alliances and this doesnt even include what is going on on the board. Also the teach is tough especially as you should play with extra rules to truly make it shine. Not for everyone but I think it is one of those games everyone should try and play at least once like Twilight Imperium IV.

It's best at 6p, but honestly I've played it quite a lot at 4p (e.g., during double dates with other couples that play board games) and it's still a lot of fun. Also the time is overblown. Every one of my 6p games has lasted 5 hours max, usually less - it depends on the experience of the players.

Thanks for the video Roy. War for Arrakis is amazingly epic, but only really covers the conflict in the sense of the armies. Dune is awesome at the political intrigue, subterfuge, and statecraft, side of things, and Dune Uprising I think represents the whole story well albeit from a macro level. All worth keeping in the collection. War for Arrakis is my favorite of the three though.

Imperium has nice mechanics but do not really capture the essence of Dune's intrigue for me.

I know it's not comparable to the OG Dune, but I've found introducing the lighter "Dune Conquest and Diplomacy" to non-gamers works really well (and it can actually get to the table more). As a gamer 'Dune Imperium' is my current favorite for sure, but I do like having a welcoming game to play with Dune fans who don't game that much.

Hi Ingo, lieben Dank dass du das hier vorgestellt hast - im seriellen TV im Nachtprogramm oder sonstwann hätte ich die nicht entdeckt. Ken Watanabe ist ja immer sehenswert... Deine Beschreibung was da passiert und vor allem, was da nicht passiert, macht mich sehr neugierig auf die Serie. Kennst du eigentlich 'The Sinner''? Meiner Meinung nach die beste "langsame" Crime-Serie. Garantiert sehr wenige bis keine Explosionen, aber viel "Uff!". Wer keinen introvertierte und dauerzerknirschten Bill Pullman sehen mag, sollte aber einen großen Bogen darum machen und was explosiveres Schauen.

I've played all three. Dune War for Arrakis is my favorite for Dune theming and very high up my favorite games list....but Dune Imperium beats it for gameplay as a top 10 favorite game overall. The theme for Dune Imperium doesn't hit nearly as hard as either other game. Dune Imperium also IMO plays great at two players using a deck to block action spots and the only one of the three with solo worth playing. Dune War for Arrakis I've taught to 3 different friends, one of which had only every played Chess and Catan a few times - and they all liked it. The initial teach takes a moment but it's all thematically tied together and so easy to remember. I'd argue it may even be an easier overall game to learn than Dune Imperium to someone who doesn't know worker placement or deck building. Original Dune - is a miss for me. I need to give it more chances, but I feel there's some substantial flaws in the design with surprise game ends and player elimination. As hard as it tries to be thematic, the setup just doesn't pop to me as being like the source material unlike CMON's Dune which mimics the second half of the first book (basically in line with the new movie). You also very much want that exact 6 player count of Dune fans with a long day to play...and that feels so hard to get that I'd rather just focus on getting a Twilight Imperium IV game planned.

Once again, just because boardgames have the same IP doesn't mean they're anything alike. Dune imperium is a eurogame, OG Dune is a wargame with an emphasis on negotiation. They have no overlap whatsoever and yet are presented in the same video as a "which should you get" choice simply because they share the same theme. This is a diservice to potential buyers. The real comparison for Dune Imperium is lost ruins of Arnak because they're both worker placement/deck building games. If someone's looking to buy one game of that category that's what they should be looking at, not Dune games in general.

For me the problem with the Dune IP is the theme. Haven't you wandered why the only Dune book that is accredited as masterpiece is the first one? The reason is twofold, first of all the second and third books in the saga were not very welcome by readers back in the 70s. No spoilers, but you have to read them in order to understand me. Specially Dune Messiah was in my opinion a piece of junk. Frank Herbert did made amends with Heretics of Dune, by creating an intergalactic diaspora involving thousands of years, but lefting it unfinished by his death. Also God Emperor of Dune was ultimately a very boring read with an absolutely ridiculous ending (Wizard of Oz like). The prequels are also bad. The Dune Imperium expansion The Rise of IX was actually based in the prequel novels, and it was particularly good. Maybe the IP is better for games.
