Really enjoying you explaining all the factions, rules and your homebrew stuff. I stumbled upon your channel while trying to research the game so I can play with my mates for the first time. I’m waiting for the CHOAM expansion to come and the ixian one has already come. Thank you so much for all of these great resources! Love hearing from Devs and can’t wait to play with your creations, the Tleilaxu are going to be my pick to play once we have the rules down pack in my group! :D

Literally playing first time in three hours you helped us out!

All the videos you made about Dune are so helpful, thank you so much, it's my favourite boardgame, it's just so good, thematic and immersive. The expansions are excellently designed! Really can't say enough good things!

Instead placing the cards in a pile, we place them in a row so it's easier to see how many cards remain in the bidding phase.

Really enjoy watching your helpful guides Jack :) I hope more strategy discussions could be made.

Thanks for the video. Dune is one of my all time favorites but it has been some time since I played it last. Your videos were super helpful - thanks!!

5:07 as the last player you will not determine any battles by yourself, but the other players will repeatedly select a battle with you, so by the time it would be your turn to select your battles, you will have none left :D

I just thought of a video idea. I was thinking you could make a tier list of all the factions you think are best to worst? Or whatever your ideas on how powerful and weak factions are compared to others. I would be interested in your opinions of this.

Thanks Jack! Really helpful:)

That shirt tho.

Where is the two treachery card limitation in the rule book? Everything implies you play one weapon and one defense for the battle plan, but I don't find that stated clearly anywhere. This is kinda important because it also implies you need to forfeit the use of either to offload a useless card.

Hi Jack, I have a question about the spice bribery. Throughout your videos you mention the bribes a lot and it seems to be an integral part of the game… but reading the rule book that is separated into each phase, the bribery is in the page with the explanation about the Nexus phase. It doesn’t mention when a bribe can happen. As a group, we interpreted this as bribes/extortion can only occur in the nexus phase. Is this not the case? You also mentioned that bribes are placed in front of a players shield and collected in the mentat pause phase but I don’t see any mention of that in the rule book. I did think it was restrictive for bribes and deals to only occur in the nexus phase and going by what you have said and watching a few other games, bribes can be done at any time? Ps thank you for the wealth of knowledge in these videos you have made. Very helpful :)

thank you for all your great videos ! Could you (or anyone who knows ?) explain why there is a "spice" sign on the bord in tuek sietch ? just like if there were a spice harvesting advantage as in carthag or arrakeen ? Thank you again

where in the rules is stated that you have to declare you have no leader? also that bribing thing?

Wow! I'm glad I don't play with players who do deals to stronghold block 😅 I mean, some of my friends block others, but usually they're trying to win the stronghold and they certainly DON'T make deals with the defender specifically to allow him to retain control *only* to block a player likely to win. I don't want to sound judgemental, because every game group enjoys different dynamics 🙂 but in my group that would look too underhand (even for Dune 😂) plus a bit gamey and dragging the game out.

Hey Jack, what If I'm playing Bene and I have a force not coexisting inside Arrekeen or Carthage ... do I have access to ornithopters?

During bidding phase, what happens when everyone fills their hand except one person? Does bidding end since no one can bid against them? We ruled that they get a single card for 1 spice.

Wait a minute. So is the first storm that moves and decides the starter? Like if Atreides is first on the first round are they gonna be first through the game?

if you are in a storm you will never be an agressor even if you have forces elsewhere...
