I am afraid that I must disagree. Duel brings flavor to the game. Adds a personal taste of Kanly. Interactive combat that is randomly tactical. The maneuvers...
I don't remember if I ever played the Duel expansion. I think so, but I tend to avoid games where a player can be eliminated. Adding player elimination to...
How you do to win in turn one? The only way the Fremen could win in the first turn is to have an Hajir, starting with troups in Sietch Tabr, False Wall West...
... Nah. Just get good Harvest Access card draws and work out trades so that you're uncontested on landing. It could work out that you land in three or more...
Ah. Ok. I never played Harvest variant. I think that the Dune basic or advanced but without Harvest and/or Duel except for the Treachery Cards, was well...
Who plays with either of these? Do you think it is superior to playing the normal advanced game? Can someone please put up a poll about it? it seems ordinary...

Welcome Peon. Seems like the poll at the moment supports the character optionals. I wonder how the others feel about the negotiation part of the game ...
Hi, I have only played a few times(optional/advanced rules incl), but I find the Alliance aspect of the game the best part. Do you go for a strong alliance...
couldn't agree more. I don't try to win in an alliance I just use it as means of providing some stability for your faction and it usually makes you less...
Well, I for one, do not lie alliances. I will discourage them with as much bluster and noise as I can muster and still seem sincere (as opposed to being ...
All, I hate to say this, but I have lost a bit of interest in Dune (the boardgame)...I've discovered a new board game that's pretty interesting, Twilight...
Sitko, Sarga88, and the board, I can certainly sympathize with a waning interest in any game. It's like being the God Emperor ... when you see the same...
this is a great idea! having a running commentary is a cool idea too. playing my first pbem game right now (dune.schtuff.com), my only big complaint is that...
A respectful hello to this group! Speaking of newbies, despite having this game seven years now, I've never played a game for lack of players. Then,...
I think in a pbem game, you should be able to about 1 turn a month. My games usually resolve bidding for 6 cards in 12 days. Chatroom could work if the time...
Hi Jay, I think that it's great that a game of Dune could organize and start in a single day. If you have information you can share, I'm sure others hankering...
One way to speed up the auction would be to do a blind auction. Rather than going round and round and asking people if they want to bid, each player would...
Nice to see some posts :). 1. I wrote the Dune Emulator. I tried to get some games going last year but it petered out after 2 attempts. (3rd week nobody showed...
Thats what we do in the IJ games. We allow completely conditional bidding, and use this format: X-Y-Z (X = starting bid, Y= bid increment, Z = Highest...

perhaps I'm a bit of a purist, but I can't really see it working without the bidding system that is used in the rules. Half the fun of the game relies around...
That's very similar to the method I use in my game. However you still need one deadline for each card in the bidding, because Atreides obviously wants to know...
That why I run the auction for each card in two rounds. Players submit orders, see where the bidding heads, and have a chance to react. The bidding can be one...
When I ran play-by-(snail)mail games, we resolved bidding in a single mailing or transaction. Along with rules along the lines Ron suggested, the GM would send...
