How to Play Dune: Advanced Rules 1

DISCLAIMER: The Phase ring is only available for those customers who purchased Dune at Gencon 2019.

Join Cameron from GF9 as he explains the first half of the rules for the Dune Advanced game. We advise you play the basic game first to get the concepts of the game and then move onto the advanced rules, when you're ready.

But when is the game going to be available in stores?

Clarification about some confusing terminology: page 7 of the rulebook has phase 8 labeled as "Spice Harvest Phase", while it is labeled "Phase 8: Spice Collection" on page 11. I was confused before I found page 11, because the advanced rules state that "During every *Collection Phase*, each occupant of Carthag
and Arrakeen collects 2 spice and the occupant of Tuek’s Sietch collects 1 spice, " and I wanted to be double sure I knew when this happened.

Is GF9 going to publish the expansions? Or the extra player factions?

The spice for troop strength rule is the only rule that I don't like... Hmmmm.

What is the exact timing for the Fremen Sandworm? Can they use the Karama to place a worm in the Mentat phase, for example? If so, do they then immediately ride the Sandworm after they destroy everyone in the initial space?

Can Atreides look at the four cards at the same time before bidding? or must it be one to one? Thank you.

[Lhunt]

Should Karama cards be used in the basic game?

There is a discrepancy between the questions and answers segment in the game manual and the separate FAQ document on the site on whether the Fremen sandworm triggers a Nexus. In the manual it says:


_In the advanced game, does the Karama sandworm called by the Fremen signal a Nexus? _*_Answer:_*_ No. A Nexus is signaled only by a Shai-Hulud sandworm card._


But in the FAQ document it says:


_When can the Fremen use their Advanced Karama card power to call a worm? Does it cause a Nexus? _*_Answer:_*_ This can only be done during the Spice Blow phase. It causes a Nexus at the end of the turn just as if you had turned up a Shai-Hulud card. It will destroy spice and forces of other factions (you can choose to protect allies) at the sand location where the Fremen chooses the worm to appear. Fremen forces at that location may ride the worm (unless a second Karama causes it to eat them)_


Which one is correct?

Hi, i’ve a question for Dune, for power whit Alliance whit EMPEROR.

For the Rule: in alliance allies CANNOT sharing spice:
allies may help each other by paying some or all of the cost of each other’s Treachery Cards or for each other's shipments...THEY CANNOT SHARING Spice.

After this, in the official Faq i find:

Karama cards.
Can they prevent ANY one player advantage from being used for the duration of that game phase? What about Alliance abilities?

Answer: Yes and yes - with the following exceptions:

Emperor: You can prevent the Emperor from receiving payment for one Treachery Card, and may prevent their ally from reviving three extra forces. You may also force Sardaukar to be treated as normal forces in the advanced game if done before battle plans are revealed.
You may not prevent sharing spice with allies, however.

So i can undestand that sharing spice is a power of emperor that he has whit his allies (for the part of the faction sheet where it is written You Mau Share your great wealth whit your allies…)

It’s Correct ?
