Dune Imperium Uprising Review
56Dune Imperium: Uprising is an oddly difficult concept to explain. It's a completely standalone game which firmly places it outside the realms of being an expansion. At the same time, it's not quite a sequel either as it's still fundamentally the same game as Dune Imperium.

**Pros**
An excellent remake of Dune Imperium
All new cards and leaders
Fully compatible with other Dune Imperium products
Sandworms are a great addition
Improved solo play with new rival cards
Streamlined clunkier aspects of the original such as the Mentat space
Great artwork
A highly strategic hybrid of worker placement and deck building
Easy to learn
**Cons**
A higher skill floor than the original
When playing with Rise of IX, you have to pretend that the overlays have a missing icon.
The guidance on combining cards from the original is a bit sloppy
