DUNE: THE BOARD GAME
Debuting with a Barnes & Noble exclusive and hitting mass retail later in the Fall, DUNE was ranked #7 on ICv2's top-selling board games for Fall 2019 and widely celebrated as one of the best games of 2019. In 2020, DUNE was awarded the Golden Geek Award for Best Thematic Game of the Year, and currently stands among BoardGameGeek's esteemed list of the Top 50 Thematic Games of All Time.
Dune is an updated version of the classic 1979 Avalon Hill game Frank Herbert’s Dune, which has been out of print for decades now. Working alongside the original game design team, GF9 has polished some of the rules and introduced a stunning new redesign to the game pieces, all while maintaining the core experience of the original game.

Announced at GenCon 2018 as part of GF9/Genuine’s master tabletop gaming license with Legendary Pictures and released in Fall 2019, the Dune board game draws from the entire literary franchise to create a game of politics, intrigue, and warfare on the desert planet of Arrakis.

Over ten rounds, the factions compete for control of Arrakis and its all-important Spice.

Players also receive a basic Quick Start, along with a comprehensive rule book for basic and advanced gameplay. MSRP is $50.
