Dune: Arrakis - Dawn of the Fremen

From Gale Force Nine:

“We can live on this world as we choose, making our own lives and future. We shall never be slaves again! From this day forward we shall call ourselves the Free Men of Arrakis”

– Ishmael, Dune: The Machine Crusade, Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson

You all know the story of Dune, the squabbles of the noble houses over control of the Spice Melange… ARRAKIS: Dawn of the Fremen is set more than 100 generations before the Atreides came to Arrakis…

Arrakis: Dawn of the Fremen is a brutal, cutthroat game about tribal control of Arrakis, more than a hundred generations before the Atreides come to Arrakis.

In the game, you control a tribe of Fremen warriors who are struggling to gather the scarce resources of Arrakis, develop the weapons and sietches you need to survive, and harness the power of sandworms for battle. Gameplay is split into three sections:

• Harj — the final part of the game set-up in which players jockey for position
• Initiation Cycle — the first cycle of the game, with a few restrictions to ease into gameplay
• Cycles — each cycle is split into several phases, with cycles continuing until the game is won

You can conquer Arrakis two ways, by controlling the winning number of sietches at the end of the action phase or by unanimous decision of the council when all players agree that you cannot be prevented from winning...
