Hi, Brad Although I have never played at the WBC, here's what I think as someone who has played in and is running an email game of Dune: If you alter the rule...
Brad, Here are my suggestions. 1. I think spice flow should not be limited in any way as this destroys the flavour of intrigue and imminent treachery that...
Hi, Brad If you really want to shorten game length, I think "stronghold blocking" is the biggest problem. So I think either of these two change is nessesary: ...

The problem that I see with 6 strongholds is that it is possible for 2 players to win solo victories at the same time. Who would win in that case? ... From:...

Thanks to everyone for feedback on the WBC tournament rules. After considering all of the input that I got, I believe I am now leaning more toward using rule...

Alternatively, you could rule that the 6th stronghold only comes into effect at the start of a particular turn - say turn 5. Players would have every chance up...
