🏜️ Dune: Betrayal — a game of intrigue, trust, and hidden roles
Travel to the desert planet of Arrakis, where every look can be a deception and every word a trap. In the board game Dune: Betrayal, inspired by the film by Denis Villeneuve, players become part of a conspiracy between two powerful houses — the Atreides and the Harkonnen. Your task is to identify allies, expose enemies, and gain control of Dune before the conflict turns into an all-consuming war.
