Object: To eliminate all enemy characters and be the only player to have
at least one character remaining at the end of the game. Use your Spice,
Harvesters, Kanly cards, and Equipment cards to assist you in reaching
this ultimate role.

The game board represents the water-starved planet of Dune. The spaces
that form the inner circle of the board represent the castle of the
rulers of Dune. The spaces surrounding the outer walls of the castle
represent the hazardous sand-covered terrain of Dune.

Castle Spaces: Space Guild, Smuggler, Traitor, Bene Gesserit, Poison,
Spice raid, and Training.

Desert spaces: Sietch, Spice, Duel, Worm and Sand Storm.

All in all this board game is worth having if you are a true Dune fan.
It's a 2 to 4 player game with players playing a 3-character group.

1) Paul Atreides, Gurney Halleck, Duke Leto Atreides.
2) Beast Rabban, Baron Harkonnen, Feyd-Rautha.
3) Sardaukar Warrior, Princess Irulan, Emperor Shaddam IV.
4) Dr. Kynes, Stilgar, Chani.

The pieces are quite nice and have each person's picture in the middle.
The spice is represented by the plastic pieces used in the game "Risk".
The game is based on the motion picture "Dune_. Pick this game up if you
find one. :)
