Acquire technology for lasting benefits. Dominate the battlefield with mighty dreadnoughts. Outmaneuver your opponents by dispatching infiltrators. Experience the new Epic game mode for a longer, high-stakes challenge. Let your fortunes ascend with the Rise of Ix.

Expand the struggle for control of the Imperium with Dune Imperium Rise of Ix. The advanced technology of Ix, the commercial influence of CHOAM and three additional Great Houses enter the conflict, giving players new ways to develop their decks, deploy agents and prepare for combat. Six new leaders provide different starting abilities and strategic directions for both new and experienced factions.

Tech tiles offer immediate effects and persistent abilities that can reshape an entire strategy, while the Shipping track lets players advance and recall freighters for increasingly valuable trade rewards. Powerful dreadnoughts add strength to combat and can temporarily hold key board spaces after victory, creating a military presence that works differently from ordinary troops. These systems reward careful investment as well as well timed tactical commitment.

New Imperium, Intrigue and Conflict cards broaden the available combinations, introduce fresh effects and support infiltration into occupied spaces. Updated House Hagal behaviour strengthens solo and two player sessions, while Epic mode raises the victory threshold for groups seeking a longer contest.

This is an expansion and not a standalone game. A copy of Dune Imperium is required to play.
