Let’s get one thing straight: I love Dune: Imperium Uprising. Like, “I have considered shuffling this deck instead of sleeping” love. So when Dire Wolf dangled a Deluxe Upgrade Pack in front of my spice glazed eyeballs, I didn’t hesitate. I didn’t even blink. I just muttered “He who controls the wallet, controls the table presence,” and hit Buy Now like a Fremen smacking a thumper. And what did I get? Miniatures. Miniatures for agents I will 100% forget to move during the game. Miniatures for techs that still do nothing until I remember I bought one. Miniatures for conflict rewards that will now look really cool while I lose them to my brother-in-law’s superior troop math. What’s in the Box? -Plastic troops with serious Game of Thrones: Dune Edition vibes -Heavier components that now thunk instead of clack -A card tray I’ll never use because I sleeve like a paranoid archivist -“Deluxe” tokens that my friends will still ask, “Wait, what’s this again?” It’s the same game only now it costs more and makes your table look like a Kickstarter prototype someone left in the sun too long. Does it Improve Gameplay? Oh, absolutely not. -The strategy? Unchanged. -The decisions? Still agonizing. -The victory? Still stolen by someone who draws Signet Ring one round earlier than you. You could play Dune: Imperium with bottle caps and a torn Uno deck and it would still slap. But Dire Wolf knows that some of us are weak, and that weakness smells like painted minis and vacuum-molded plastic trays. Who Is This For? This upgrade pack is for: -People who sleeve their player boards -People who casually say “I just like the table presence” -People who have 3 copies of the Rise of Ix expansion just in case -People like me. Fools. Glorious, spice addled fools. Final Rating: 2/10 for Value …but 10/10 for the part of me that whispers, “Make it pretty so you feel better about the money you just lost to House Hagal.” Would I recommend it? No. Would I buy it again? In a heartbeat. Would I lie about how much I paid if my partner asks? Absolutely. Because at the end of the day, style is temporary, but Dune is forever. And if you’re going to get crushed by someone flipping Stilgar for the 17th time you might as well lose in style. Read more

I was looking for the expansion, which is available just in UK, so during week of holiday in England, I see that Amazon had it :) The order takes just 2 days to arrive and it was delivered to my rent apartment without any problem. Excellent product, protecting packaging, on time, what else should I ask for. Read more

Ohne die Erweiterung macht das Spiel deutlich weniger her. Ich würde dieses Packet als Must-Have einstufen, da es sonst nur Holzwürfel im Spiel gibt. Leider ist es ein Upgrade und muss dazu gekauft werden. Dann bleibt vom Original Spiel jede Menge über die man dann nicht mehr benötigt. Und leider passen die Einlagen nur so in etwa zu dem Inhalt. Alles entweder zu groß oder zu klein. Etwas enttäuschend und nicht gerade eine Deluxe version, sondern eher Standard der schon beim Basis-Packet dabei sein sollte. Und erst mit den Extras die man so auf Etsy findet, wird das Spiel richtig Deluxe - siehe Bild ;) Read more
