As the most classic Big Wednesday (1978) teaches, the right wave must be ridden immediately, or someone will do it for you.
I still remember when, in the late 90s, i came across a large tome with an almost dreamlike title on the shelves of a bookstore: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the Shadow. As a good adolescent and a bit of a nerd, I thought that the fantasy-toned cover would be a love next to my Intel Pentium that boasted a wonderful Voodoo 2 graphics card; so I grabbed it for a few pennies. I fell in love with it, and when Peter Jackson decided that this saga couldn’t be so niche, it exploded like a supernova in the Pop Culture panorama.
Then, a few years later, a friend of mine strongly recommended A Song of Ice and Fire by a certain George R.R. Martin. I read all the volumes with an almost maniacal eagerness, and then… well, you all know how it ended. And if you don’t know, hurry up and watch Game of Thrones!
So, let’s say that from niche to masterpiece it can take months, years or, in the case of Dune, even decades. But sooner or later any hidden diamond is brought to light.
This is what happened for Herbert’s masterpiece, which slowly made its way first with video games, then with board games, and in the end to finally reach the general public with blockbusters that deserve every minute in the theater.
And that’s how Dire Wolf rode, and is still riding, this media tsunami, bringing to our tables first Dune: Imperium and then its “rebel” version (or, as an enthusiast, revisited and corrected) Dune: Imperium – Insurrection.
Both “eurogames-style” with an Arrakis flavour (spicy, of course), these wonderful games have managed to do what too often fails to do: properly set an intricated management game, albeit, in this case, average.
Infinite cards and a board, where every action is themed for the game, take us to the desert planet in search of precious solar, water, but above all The Spice. All with the diplomatic help of various factions, for a sublime experience.
But here we are again: when it comes to setting up decks, piles, resources and tokens, the game box certainly doesn’t help. But we do!
We had already got our hands on Dune: Imperium, managing to organize it together with the two expansions Rise of Ix and Immortality, and we certainly couldn’t leave its rebellious twin Uprising orphaned! Our organizer for Dune: Imperium – Uprising will also hold the base game and both expansions (which can be played with both Imperium and Uprising), avoiding going crazy in the tedious division of the cards, and the other components.
Because when The Spice calls, the great houses must answer. And who will ever win, if not the best organized? For Arrakis!
