Glad you guys covered this game! I absolutely LOVE Dune War for Arrakis and haven't seen many people talk about it! I think it''s really good and feels streamlined. I've only played it 1v1 and never felt the need to play 2v2 but now you guys are making me want to try the 2v2!

Too many good Dune games! I know they are very different, but I'm wondering if people will prefer Dune Imperium (Uprising) or War for Arrakis more.

I wouldn’t say that they’ve perfected WOTR, but they’ve definitely streamlined it and in a really good way For me, WOTR will always offer a more epic experience, but oh maaaaaaaaaaaan, I really like Dune. It’s much shorter, fun, and still epic. I prefer the victory condition for the “good guys” in Dune (I feel that it’s so hard to win with the Free People in WOTR), and they fixed the “Pass” action from WOTR with a simple thing that's... do something 🤣 Insert? The usual garbage from CMON… Just put everything in plastic bags or buy a 3D insert (like I did). After sleeved the cards the insert became unusable Of the three games you mentioned, it’s the only one that works great at 2vs2. Awesome review! Thank you! :)

I really don't feel the same. I think free people have more or less 50% winning rate at home (30+ games) whereas Atreides have 10-20% (10-15 games). The changing rules that come with FAQ 3.0 help them a lot though. I think their winning rate will raise. And after reading the next expansion rulebook, it seems to favor Atreides too. So the final game with all expansions may be balanced. Anyway I don't really care it's not balanced. I love that game ! (Less than WotR and SWR though, which are my top #1 and #2 boardgames of all time)

@@vickthor2599 Probably I suck at playing the free people ahahahahahaahah Honestly, in my opinion, none of the three games are balanced and that's fine! Because of background story they shouldn't be balanced at all, but enough to give a real shot of victory for every faction, and I think all give that I will check the FAQ 3.0 that you mention! Thank you :)

A perfect review.. WotR and Rebellion have been going head to head as the best 2 player game for a decade. Now DwfA will join them. DwfA was designed to be a shorter version of WotR. Rebellion was Fantasy Flight Games version of WotR with their Star Wars IP. So in reality these 3 games are basically the same game with tweaks for the theme. The nice thing is if you learn one of these games you know 75% of the rules for the others.

Rebellion is really not a version/remake of WotR. It's sort of in the same game space of epic 2 player IP war simulation-lite; but it's actually based on a PC game by the same name from the late 90's.

Thanks for the great review. I've been wondering about this game since we already have Dune Imperium and play it regularly. Do I need another Dune IP game? Looks like I do! Our favorite IP game right now is Star Wars Unlimited. With limited mechanics, they deliver the core of the characters and themes of the IP.

@edgarffmatos it's not worth it. If you buy the game to play it at 2 (or 4) you may try it once or twice. But that's all.

Rebellion is really thematic. It's not like Arrakis where two factions wages war. The Rebels don't have a big army, they need to accomplish objectives to have a chance to win. The Empire on the other hand, have a big army and they are trying to spread it across the galaxy to find the secret rebel base. They are completely different games.

War of the ring also claims to play 2 to 4, but no one recommend playing it at 4 players. If playing mosty at 4 players, is this one still worth it or are you losing some of the appeal by playing 4p?
