Dune: House Secrets

About this game

Featuring the co-operative game system used in Portal's award-winning  Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game ,  Dune House Secrets (designed by Jakub Poczęty ,  Przemysław Rymer ,  Ignacy Trzewiczek ,  Weronika Spyra ) delivers a deeply thematic experience that drops one-to-five players in the middle of the highest stakes unfolding on the harsh desert planet of Arrakis. In Dune House Secrets , players take on the roles of rebels who must solve a series of challenging missions with a finite amount of time and resources. Players cooperatively make decisions on how to progress the story as they decide to explore different regions of the world, follow leads, leverage allies, and overcome opposition of all kinds. During gameplay, players use a variety of physical and digital game components — a deck of cards with essential clues and plot twists, a dozen physical handouts, and a dedicated website with additional resources — to steer the narrative in fun and surprising directions for a truly immersive experience. Beginning with an introductory prologue designed to get players acquainted with the massive  Dune universe, Dune House Secrets then continues with three big adventures, each taking roughly two-to-three hours to play. During each episode, players can earn experience points to level up their characters in between missions and unlock new options in future gameplay. Each adventure can be played separately as standalone episodes, yet should players complete all three episodes, they will unravel a master game narrative with an epic climax and unforgettable resolution with lasting impact on the future two games in the trilogy.
