TDG: Dune Imperium: Rise of IX

Duncan Idaho: Not as good as Dunkin' Doughnuts but much better than regular Idaho! Join Cody as he takes a look at this expansion to the much lauded worker placement/deck building game from Dire Wolf. Is it the next evolution of board game technology? Or will it take a thinking machine to integrate this expansion? Let's watch!

Dreadnaughts do not provide the ability to gain sword by just being in the Garrison.

[@metalblizzard6024]

One of my favorite all time expansions. So good.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Indeed. Great expansion to a great game.

[@bobdole8830]

IX wasn't the only thing that rose during the time it took watching this video, if you know what I mean. I mean gas. Gas prices have probably risen.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Ha!

[@BlessTheAlfredo]

I really like this expansion. It makes solari and spice so much more valuable, and I like the use of dreadnaughts in combat and in being able to place them in flag spaces (I annoyed my girlfriend by placing them on top of her flags last time we played lol.) Great video Cody!

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Thanks. Great game!

[@klausfleishacker4756]

This expansion should have been in the main game. Without it, the game is unfinished. I suspect they just wanted to get more money and cut up the game.

[@Lordjunon]

I taught it with expansion the other day and no issues. It is a nifty fun expansion.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

I’ve taught it since I’d shot this review as well. No problems.

[@dangerousbeans2907]

Nice overview. Thanks

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Thank you.

[@patriziopastore9895]

Still on the fence about this the base game is still good enough. Good that there is an expansion symbol agree on that

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Expansion is really good. As I say, I'd call it essential.

[@klausfleishacker4756]

Mistake at 7:25 - should be reveal phase. Not agent phase.

[@garicb9271]

Those dreadnoughts though.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Right?

[@Orochi_001]

I do know what essential means, but would you include people who have never played in that? I just got the base/upgrade, and now am wondering if I’ve made an error. Thanks, Cody!

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

The base game is great. But for the full experience, I'd really recommend getting the expansion.

[@designation7395]

I always thought it was “rise of 9”

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Ha! Not quite.

[@shanerion]

Were you calling the Ixians the Nineians?

[@Wolcik3000]

another print is incoming and while its expensive expansion I am poundering on it Does it fit into the base box?

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

I have the deluxe version. It easily fits in that.

[@Wolcik3000]

@@TheDiscriminatingGamer does figure version fita in the base box or do you need to replace/remove insert? Or maybe have two boxes?

[@misomiso8228]

Give you're a historian be cool if you did a vid on current situation re Russia etc. It's increidble looking at the history - the red and white army fought over Eastern Ukraine four times I think. Or maybe just another look at Europe Divided...

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Ha! Perhaps o shall explore that on my other channel, Cody Carlson, PhD.
