The Verdict
based on 26 reviews
“Dune Imperium Uprising is a fantastic game. They took what made Dune Imperium so great, added more to it.”(8:40)
“I do enjoy this game a lot I think it adds a lot like like I said the spies and the contracts those two things alone just make the game move so much quicker I really really enjoy it”(25:48)
“I think this was my favorite way to play [Dune] Imperium and it's one of my favorite games of all time.”(40:14)
“With both the new and tweaked mechanics, Dune: Imperium – Uprising is a fantastically tight gaming experience with a lot of strategic options for players to plan their way to victory.”
“And the cards are a little bit more complex than those in Lost Run or Arnac. And I think that's what elevates this to the first place for me is that layer of complexity that leads to a higher level of discovery during plays.”
“I think Uprising is indeed a better version of it, and the compatibility means you don't lose anything by picking it up.”
“It's an easy recommendation because it's more Dune Imperium for new players. It's an easy recommendation because Dune Imperium is easy to recommend, and Uprising feels like a tun up version of the designer's original vision.”(17:48)
“If you like work placement conflict deck building this is a no-brainer um I think that it's uh the rules are not too complex to get into this is it's kind of a step above Gateway plus”(2:05:05)
“For now, if we're comparing apples to apples, I prefer the experience of Dune: Imperium – Uprising over the original.”
“It's not going anywhere, it's not going anywhere. Amazing, amazing game. If you're looking to dabble for the first time, yeah, you're probably better off getting the original at the same time. If you know you're already going to like it a lot, you're maybe better off with this.”(1:55)
“This is going to get a nine rating I I love Dune Imperium so obviously I love Dune Imperium uprising”(10:22)
“I think this game is great. I would get this expansion. You probably already got it. I was a little slow in getting this out, but I really wanted to try the six-player experience before I reviewed it.”(31:56)
