  • Dune: Imperium - Episode 3: Solo, Two-Player, and Six-Player Versions
    Nov 19 2024

    With this episode, it goes over the solo, two-player, and six-player versions of Dune: Imperium. So instead of playing with three to five players, which is recommended, one, two, and six players are able to engage in gameplay although with some needed variants. With the one- and two-player versions of the game, the House Hagal cards are to be used to take-on the role of the absent player(s). With the six-player version, the players are to form two teams, basically pitting Paul Atreides against Shaddam Corrino IV. So with that said, we hope you enjoy this series and we look forward to you returning to learn about the variants of chess that we cover in this series.
