For those who don't know, Dune Imperium has released digitally on Steam in early access and is coming to consoles as well in the near future. Currently, only the base game is available with a tutorial, AI (which is amazingly fun to play against) + online play as well. The developers (Dire Wolf) already stated the expansions are coming in the future as well so be on the lookout for that :) Check it out!

It's actually wrong I believe (at the least the first couple of times...he changes pronunciations partway through). It should be Tlee-lax, not Tlay-lax according to readings of the books that Frank Herbert did. In the 1984 movie, it was Bene Tly-lax, which sounds how the word is spelled (and was thus how I pronounced it in my head when I read the novels). In this video he used both Tlay-lax and Tly-lax-u (not really sure how you could get Tlay-lax out of that spelling though).

2 things I'm mention: 1. It's good to see Rodney back for a tutorial after Monque and Chaz got their tale. Maybe we'll see a tutorial with all 3 of your doing parts in the future. 2. This expansion is already on my wishlist. At least Dire Wolf has been pretty good with releasing Dune Imperium expansions each November since 2020 when the base game came out. I hope they'll continue releasing expansions for a long time, and release enough expansions to create a 1000+ Imperium card row, etc. By that point, they might want to think about releasing a series of different boards to replace the core game one based on which expansions you want to play as called "Dune Imperium Board Collection."
