TDG: Dune: War for Arrakis (Four Player)

[@raygun6271]

Delighted to hear it plays well as a 4 player game as I had the same fear as you!

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Happy to help. Thanks.

[@tmorton42]

Great video, that was very informative! Good info.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Thanks!

Lightsaber is not a laser weapon! ;) And seriously, thanks for your review. I actually like to play two of my favorite boardgames (Star Wars Rebellion and War of the Ring) with four players - so if you say War for Arrakis is even better in teams, I’m very excited for it.

@@Bartoszbolechow Happy to help. Thanks.

[@garrettpotvin1522]

Love Star Wars Rebellion at all player counts.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Just two player for me.

Tack för programmet cody dune verkar vara ett spel där man får tänka till och farligt med alla maskar och spindlar

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Det är ett fantastiskt spel, och ja, det finns mycket att tänka på.

Hi Cody. Did you see the rules changes in faq 3.0 ? Give us your thought please. I think it’s good changes.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

I’ll have to get back to you on that one.

[@lystic9392]

OK that is actually very important to me because I typically have a group of 4.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

It’s great at 4!

[@n815e]

That expression you make for every thumbnail to make it seem like you disliked the game to drive hits to your videos… That’s exactly how I look every time your reviews show up in a search.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Ha! I literally just screenshot right before the cut to the title card. Whatever expression I'm making, I'm making.

[@LukianPeterson]

That joke at the end... was a blast!!! 😂

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@StraightRoyalFlush]

Hi Cody, thanks for the review, I got and really enjoy it. I was considering getting Star Wars rebellion as well, but was concerned there’s too much overlap/ similarities between the two. Do you think only one - or - both are justified in the same collection?

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

@@StraightRoyalFlush They are very different games. I own both and have no doubts I will continue to play both. Both great games and both unique in game play and theme. However, there are similarities, such as asymmetry and a top tier franchise theme.

[@PhD_Angel]

I love Dune (the novel) but for whatever reason I don't see myself playing sci-fi boardgames...

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Too bad. There are a lot of great Dune titles out there, and more great sci-fi games besides.

[@mrsuitcase9799]

I'm intrigued! Roughly how long to play a 4-player game?

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Around three hours.

[@klausfritsch4350]

I'm guessing that this game would be difficult to play solo.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

There is a solo mode for it. But I haven't tried it yet.

[@brykhousegames2189]

Cody, you're selling me hard on this one, I might have to check it out with the reprint coming here. Really wondering if Company of Heroes 2nd Edition improved what you didn't like about it at 4+ / team games. Not sure I recall what you said you didn't like about it. Without the new Operation Deck mechanic, the team that went second and always knew they were going to have 9 Commands Cubes was just overwhelming, so I'm wondering if that was it, or something else.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

I haven’t played CoH 2nd edition. I’m eagerly awaiting my copy.

[@rode8173]

Great video, Cody. May have to buy this for a friend of mine. One question--Which Eldritch Horror expansion was behind you in the video?

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Thanks. It's Mountains of Madness.

[@DoppelgangerF02]

Awesome review! Ty for doing the 4 player version also

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Thank you. Happy to help.
