Gale Force Nine Dune Ixians & Tleilaxu House Expansion,Various

This expansion provides a great update to the Dune boardgame. If you enjoy Dune, then this expansion is for you. While there are issues with Dune such as the complicated rules for advanced play, and its brutal old school philosophy that may make the game a pointless drag if you get unlucky at the beginning, those are issues with the base game. So, if you are buying the expansion, that probably means you are OK with the general flaws. As a huge Dune nerd, I love having more factions, and the mechanics are well in line with the lore. If you are looking for more variations on the theme, get this expansion. If you are looking for an expansion that fixes some of the issues, this is not the expansion for you. For a similar game with much more streamlined play, check out Rex Imperium if you can find a copy.

Emperor and spacing guild now have solid competitors

The product is great! The new houses are interesting and different without being so different it doesn’t feel like dune. Only complaint is that you have to mess around with the base box to get it to fit in there. Overall recommend

Amazing board game and expansion.

After having the good fortune of having a consistent 6 player experience, we had the two veterans play the new factions. Just as Herbert shook his Duniverse in his sequels with expanding on the Bene Tleilax and the Ixians, the board game takes the literary mechanics and masterfully shakes up the board game with new factions

Dune has always been on my short list as the best games of all time. The old game is pretty much the same as the new, but the new is easier to use. The inclusion of these extra Houses is interesting. I have not play tested some of the new Treachery cards but it is all pretty exciting.

Great expansion that adds 2 more groups to the fight. Definatly worth it of you like this game.

Good additional options and new faction choices.

First a foremost I love this board game, so buying this expansion was a no brainer. But when I received the Ixian and Tleilaxu expansion I realized that something was wrong with the printed images. They all appear to be smaller and off center. Images online show the images being a normal size but these are clearly smaller. The treachery cards are all fine but I am disappointed with the print quality of the pop out pieces.

I bought this at the same time I bought the game. I only started using it recently, and the factions are difficult to use. However, the Tleiaxu do have an OP move. They can swap their forces with any winner in any battle with their own if the leader played matches any of the traitor or face-dancer cards in their hand. Pretty awesome
