Recruit elite forces, unlock new Tech tiles and open fresh strategic paths in the struggle for control of the Imperium.

Product Description

The Great Houses of the Imperium rise and fall across generations. Alliances shift, dynasties are built, and the Bene Gesserit continue to shape the future from the shadows.

Dune: Imperium - Bloodlines expands the struggle for power with new ways to strengthen your forces, develop your strategy and secure your legacy.

Recruit the Emperor's formidable Sardaukar Commanders, each supported by powerful Commander Skills. Once acquired, these elite troops can join your garrison or enter the Conflict, where they bring additional strength and activate the skills you have collected.

Bloodlines also includes an optional Tech Module, introducing the Ixian Embassy Board and 18 Tech tiles. Acquire new technology with spice and gain abilities that can influence your strategy throughout the game. The Tech Module can be used with either Dune: Imperium or Dune: Imperium – Uprising.

New Leaders, Contracts, Imperium cards, Intrigue cards and other additions create even more possibilities as you compete for influence, resources and victory.

Dune: Imperium - Bloodlines is an expansion and is not a standalone game. A compatible Dune: Imperium or Dune: Imperium – Uprising base game is required to play.
