 using this book
This book gives detailed rules for all the powers, cards and abilities in the game. The rules located on cards and in various summaries
are, by necessity, brief and abridged, while here we present the rules in full. As a result, the text of this document takes precedence
over every other source.

Further, we have provided a full index of card and marker numbers required to play the game. This allows you to ensure you have the
correct materials available.

faction information
Faction information is split into a number of sections:

Faction Powers
Each Faction has access to a number of special abilities. The abilities may bend or even break the basic rules of the game. Where the
rules and Faction Powers are at odds, the Faction Power takes president.

The powers are split into Basic and Advanced. Advanced powers are only used in the Advanced Game.

Some powers are also “Character Powers” marked with an asterisk (*). If you are playing with the Main Leaders and your Main Leader
is in the ‘Tanks’, then they powers may not be used at all

Note that Karama Treachery Cards may prevent certain powers from being used for a single turn or occurrence. These powers have
been noted in italics. Karama Cards are rare, but these powers still cannot be completely relied upon.

These lists deal with the powers in great detail. They take precedence over any and all summary information.

Alliance Cards
Each faction has a different Alliance Power, as detailed on their Alliance cards.

Faction Set
Each faction begins the game with a number of components as detailed in this section.
Note that components used only in the Advanced Game have been listed here for completeness. They may be set-aside while not in
use.

Planet Cards
Each faction’s abilities in the Spice harvest is covered by their Planet Card.

See Future You may play a Karama Treachery Card during a
Battle to look at one target player's entire battle plan
before their opponent selects their own battle plan.
Reveal the card instead of their opponent’s Battle
Plan. Only then does the opponent put together their

Basic Faction Powers:
Prediction At the beginning of the game, after
Factions are assigned but before
any pieces are placed on the game
board, you must predict who you
believe will win the game and on
what turn. Take the two Prediction
cards that match this (one for the
game turn and one for the faction)
and place them face-down in front
of your shield. If the selected faction
(or an alliance they belong to) wins
a Victory by Conquest on the
selected turn, you may reveal your
prediction and win a Victory by
Subterfuge alone. You cannot
predict a Victory by Subterfuge.
Breeding During the Revival Round you may
Program revive up to one token for free
Spiritual Whenever any other players ship
Advisers Army Tokens onto Dune from off-
planet, you may ship free one
Token from your reserves into the
Polar Sink. You may also ship
normally, of course. As the Fremen
and special Guild shipments do not
ship from off-planet, you may not
ship with them.
The Voice You may force your opponent to do
as you wish with respect to a
specific one of the cards they will
play in their battle plan, i.e., to play
or not to play particular kind of
Treachery Card (as listed in the line
under the card title in the index of
cards presented in this volume).
You cannot voice a “Special” or
“Weapon – Special” Treachery
Card, or specify what other cards
they must use. If they can't comply
with your command, they may do as
they wish but do not have to state
this until the Battle Plan is revealed.

Existence* Round, before any movement is started by any player,
a Co-Existence marker in any and all Territories in
which you have Army Tokens and wish to remain in
co-existence.
Each and every time any movement or effect causes
your Army Tokens to start occupy a territory with those
of another, player you may choose to immediately
place a Co-Existence marker in that Territory if there is
not already one there .
These are the only times you may place such markers.
If you decline an opportunity to place a Co-Existence
marker, you may not later place said marker unless a
fresh opportunity arises.
If an opportunity to place a Co-Existence marker
occurs which involves an ally, you MUST use the
opportunity to place the marker.
All Co-Existence markers are removed from the board
at the end of each Control Round.
Be at Peace* In Territories with Co-Existence Markers, your Army
Tokens count as not being present. They have no
effect on the play of the other players whatsoever.
They cannot collect Spice, cannot be involved in
combat, cannot prevent another player's control of a
stronghold, cannot gain control over strongholds, and
ignore Restricted Markers.
They are still susceptible to effects that destroy all
Army Tokens in a territory. They may use bonus cards
if you gain them for control of an appropriate territory
via Tokens who are not Co-Existing.
Your Army Tokens in territories not in Co-Existence
are treated as normal Army Tokens. It is assumed you
are not in Co-Existence unless you place a marker
otherwise.
Combat Whenever you send “Spiritual Advisers” with another
Advisers* player’s Shipment, they may ship to the same
destination as that player’s Army Tokens, but you
MUST use any Co-Existence opportunity that arises.
Piety* Beginning with the second turn, you automatically
receive CHOAM Charity each Bidding Round

Golden Lion Whenever all other players pay for

it directly and immediately to you

Thumpers You may play a Karama Treachery Card during
the Spice Blow or during your turn in the
Movement Round to cause a Shai-Hulud to
appear in any territory you wish, as if it had
appeared there during a Spice Blow Round. The
Shai-Hulud is not drawn from the Spice deck. A
Shai-Hulud cannot devour Army Tokens if not in a

cards to your hand. This can invalidate the prior use
of “The Voice” by the Bene Gesserit. It is poor form

While the Atreides are your allies, you may force your
opponents to show you one element of their battle plan: the

your opponent shows that they are not playing a Weapon
or Defence, you may not ask to see another element of the
plan. You must use this ability after any Bene Gesserit
Voice ability has been used or passed on.
You may not use this ability if Paul Mua'Dib Atreides is in

Fremen of Arrakis
While the Fremen are your allies, your Army Tokens are
not destroyed if they are in a territory that experiences a

allies must be moved out of this territory during the
upcoming Movement Phase. Failure to do so results in

“WORTHLESS” Cards.
All Worthless cards have the same text, as follows:

This card has no abilities in of itself.

You may play it in the place of either a WEAPON or DEFENCE card as part of a Battle Plan, but it will have no effect on
the outcome of the Battle.

In the Advanced Game, you may play this card at any time in your own turn. Choose player and place this card face down
in front of the owning player’s shield with between one and four Spice from the Spice bank on top.
Each turn, the target player must pay you an amount of Spice equal to that on top of this card, or the card turns over. At
that point you must pay the target player three times as much Spice as is on top of the card, any Spice on this card is
discarded to the Spice Bank, and this card is discarded.
You may return this card to your hand at any time so long as you can hold the extra card, at which point any Spice on top
of it is returned to the Spice Bank.

Making Traitors
You may make a traitor of any one revived Leader per turn,
using the following procedure:
1. Each time a Leader other than a Main Leader is
revived, take either one “distraction” Ghola card or that
Leader’s Ghola card from your stock.
2. Without showing the card to anyone, place it with any
others in front of your screen. You may only put out one
card is not a distraction each turn.
3. At the end of Leader Revivals, you will take cards from
the pile in front of your screen and secretly look at
them.
4. Pick one card to keep, and set it aside, before revealing
the rest to the other players. The revealed cards must
all be Distraction cards.
5. If the cards you reveal to the other players include any
non-distraction cards, all these cards, plus the one you
set aside, are returned to your stock.
6. If the revealed cards are all Distraction cards, you
return the revealed cards to your stock and put the set-
side card in your hand with any other Traitor and Ghola
cards you have.
7. Finally place two Distraction cards in front of your
Screen for next turn.
In this way you may make up to one revived Leader into a
Ghola. You must, however, decide when a Leader is
revived whether to make that Leader a Ghola, or hold-out
for a better leader being revived, which may not happen.

You can lay traps in strongholds which you control or in

procedure:

of your Screen with the corresponding Stronghold card
face-up on top of it. Only one Treachery card may be
placed with each Trap card at any given time.
• The first Army Tokens moved or shipped onto the
stronghold trigger the trap. These Army Tokens are
frozen and may not move any further that turn.
• At the beginning of the Battle Round, before all other
combat, a Leader of the triggering faction is drawn at
random from those available for use in battle at the
Trapped Stronghold this turn. That Leader is attacked
as if you were launching an attack on a leader at the
end of a turn. (NOTE: As the trap card has already
been played, the Bene Gesserit CANNOT voice it. The
