Ruling the Board: Shaw Gaming 6/20/12: Dune




Apparently, when our group jumps into something, we jump in with both feet, full body, bringing everything with us.  Our gracious hosts decided to do a movie, diner, board game night with the ceterpeices being Frank Herbert's Dune.  The movie was bonkers and the food was good.  Afterwards, we sat down to the beast that is:

Frank Herbert's Dune: Space Civilization Power Struggle Game


Our Game

We all chose a faction and taught ourselves how to play.  Things went slowly as we plodded along, but picked up a bit as people figured out how to play.

I had the seers and could choose a player and turn on which they would win.  If I predict it correctly, then I win instead.

Oddly enough, this nearly happened and it took a player two ahead happening to do something that kept this player from winning on this round that kept me from winning.

Final Thoughts

We had a really fun night overall, but this was not one of the better board games I have played and did not work all that well for a bunch of first timers.  This is one that I would try again, but its not that high on my list to do so.
