That board looks so cool! And you guys explain everything that you're doing so well. It made it super easy to follow. I'm not into this IP, but you're making me want to get this!
It does look cool! Thank you! We really do our best when it comes to playthroughs! Kristina wasn't into the IP either but after watching the first movie and playing the game with me a couple times she really enjoyed it.
Much better than the first run through, quick and very clear. Hopefully you make another where you beat the rival :) A few things: large resources are worth 5; rivals earn the resources equal to the number in the top right of their card before turning that amount in for their swordmaster (solari, spice, intrigue, water priority), which means it then costs 6 solari for human players; rivals don't get the alliance bonus resources; unless using the 'expert deployment' rule, rivals always put the max allowed into combat e.g. beast going to Arrakeen with signet ring (36:38) = 4 troops in combat (space + ring + 2 from garrison), this would also include any troops from their spy recall effect that turn. Gameplay advice if struggling is to go for worms and swordmaster like that is your only objective, that alone will get you faring much better. If you frequently have over 4 troops in garrison you are doing something wrong, unless just before a conflict 3 or another specific reason. Faction access is hard to come buy so buying cards with it is important (and/or spy placement/access). I also recommend moving combat markers as soon as you put troops in the combat and when revealing, as it's far easier to track than adding it up each time to assess everyone's combat strength.
Thanks for helping us out with the video! We're glad you guys have a keen eye out for any issues, we definitely want to make the watching experience worth while. If Kristina and I make another playthrough of Dune we will make those corrections and use that advice to pull a win for one of us. Again, thank you for watching and supporting the channel!
Thanks for the video. A comment was made about why second place gets "more" than first place. First also gets the card, remember, which can mean victory points, control of spaces, extra resources, etc.
When you happen to win first place during a combat some of the turns allow you to win a location such as Arrakeen or Carthag which means that if anyone places their agent at those locations, you will get spice or solari. If you played a worm you'd get double the victory points but only one flag at the city you won.
Great to see you 2 back playing the game. I haven't managed to get it to the table this week, so I'm enjoying your play through instead. I loved the look between you 2 when you said no mistakes this time. :D So should I point out a couple of things? - "Set combat strength" is part of the player reveal turn. You tally up *both* your troops and daggers at that point. You don't need to do part of it in combat. - 13'30"ish. You said you could bring up to 2 troops into combat. It's "up to all the troops you earned that turn, plus up to 2 troops from your garrison" (see pg 10). Since Sietch Tabr and the signet gave you 2 troops, you could have brought up to 4 in combat. But I nitpick because of that funny look at the start. :) You both seem to be enjoying the game. I love it too.
It was on the list of games we wanted to do another playthrough of. Plus we needed to do our best to correct as much as we could. It's so incredibly difficult to film and play at the same time. Well were glad theres not as many errors or major ones this time lol. We're glad you enjoyed the playthrough! Hopefully you can get it to the table soon because it is a fantastic game!!
@@BoardGameJunkies Yeah, I can imagine the cognitive workload of filming and narrating every turn while playing. I don't think I would manage a playthrough without errors either. Don't let the small details stop you! You are great fun to watch.
At 23:56 Shawn went to the spice refinery, and got 4 coins, but he took 1 large and 1 small, i guess you are using the large ones as a cost 3 and not 5. this made me rewind :) hehe
It was our first time filming that game and I fear we made a few mistakes but corrected many in the second playthrough and then made different ones lol so frustrating but we try our best!
@@BoardGameJunkies We all love your vids and know that mistake are made but the main thing is you have fun playing and doing the vids and we all enjoy watching them :)
Great game play. I like the camera angle and the clear descriptions and demonstrations of what each player is doing. I think the background music could be reduced in volume by half. It was kind of distracting for me, but not enough to push me out of the video. You guys have excellent clear voices, really nice personalities, and you played the game really well. I'm going to check out more of your videos, for sure.
Thanks a lot for all of that! Agreed! The volume of the background music was too loud during that time of us filming. I have whipped Shawn into audio shape, and we have lowered it since then, lol! Hope you enjoy our other videos! 😊
At 13:30 Shawn could of put in 4 troops, 2 from reserve and 2 from the 2 he got from the location he went to. unless this game is deferent to the 1st copy of the game.
That is true, I could have placed another 2 from the reserve, it is the same as the original game. It's been awhile since we've played that game but sometimes I hold reserves for later turns
@25:00 and one time before, didnt you play it wrong? Rival turn, card said battle icon and gaining troops, he sends the troops from the card, but also up to 2 additional garnison troops (if available) - said so on Page 2 at the middle of the page, "if a rival sends an agent to a battlefield/icon he sends in addition up to 2 troops etc" (sorry, i have the german version, but in english it must say sthg like that). Or am i getting it wrong?
Minor Rule: P10 of the rule book: “When a conflict card is drawn for a space that you already control, you receive a defensive bonus: You may deploy one troop from your supply to the conflict” So at the end when the battle for Arrakeen was drawn, you could have had 1 more troop in the conflict which would have tied with the Beast and therefore he wouldn’t have gotten all the 2nd place rewards and you would have lasted at least one more round.
My wife and I are also just starting to play this game. I noticed a few things though with your playthrough. The beast rival doesnt gain points, says on his card. Also the rival only goes after the "first player" not every time between you guys, just treat the rival as a 3rd player. You had the rival going twice per your once. Also the rival cant use resources to buy victory points until they have the swordmaster. Great video guys. It will definitely help newer players learn.
Oh it's a keeper! We love this Dune game! Omg seriously? We try so hard to make sure we play the games right but it's also so easy to make mistakes while filming and making it entertaining! Thank you for supporting us! We have many more awesome games on the way!
@BoardgameJunkies Dune uprising is definitely my favorite board game at the moment. There is a lot to learn when first learning it, that's for sure. Looking forward to more of your videos! Keep it up!
Min 25 the Beast goes to Research station. He gets two troops which you put into his reserve and then deploy two. When we are on combat space and get troops isn't the rule that we can deploy all troops we get + 2 more. So he should have deployed 4 in total? I have just bought the game and wanted to see how to play a two player game but these mistakes make it harder for new players. I know that it is a complex game but I think when you make such videos you should make sure you've memoriesd the whole rulebook or just keep referring when unsure and cut out the pause
Thank you for helping us with those mistakes. That's correct a total of 4 troops should have been placed into combat since he had the troops available. We do plan on making new videos with zero mistakes. It's a great game, so you made an excellent purchase. You seem to have the rules figured out, that will make gameplay much easier!
yer on my 1st game i forgot also you can put in the number of troops to gain +2 , so if you went to the place that gives you 5 troops to your garrison you could put in 7 into combat if you already had 2 in the garrison.
Great video, watching you play taught me the solo and two player rules which were a bit unclear from reading the rulebook. Some addition considering the placement of spies: Whenever a Rival places the third and final Spy from its supply, immediately recall the Rival's other two Spies and trigger the Scheme ability on the Rival's card. Also: Whenever a Rival has a choice about gaining influence, it chooses the Faction in which it has the least. In the case of a tie, use the Faction priority list at the bottom of the Rival card to break the tie: use the leftmost icon among the tied Factions
We're glad you enjoyed the video! We did our best with the video, even we can make mistakes sometimes with rules but luckily we have a great community of board game enthusiasts that help out everyone! Welcome to the channel!
@@BoardGameJunkies I had some questions while watching the video, and looked it up in the Rulebook. Might as well post them under the comments. Thanks again for making it, explaining what's happening and trying to win the game is hard work! 😁
when beast was going to get a alliance. there is an order to it. the players dont get to pick witch alliance. at the bottom of the card it shows you the order he will take if he can. I am sorry about doing these comments one after the other. i only started playing the game and i enjoy talking about it :)
Hey thats ok! We love talking about all games here! It was a definite favourite for us too! We may make another playthrough to get a rid of all mistakes. Thats true he does have an order at the bottom of his card that you follow
That's also correct, during the attack phase you flip over a Hagar card and any attack symbols are added to their attack power total value. Thanks for watching!
Second place generally has the better reward, but first place is where you can get the matches for victory points. Also, the Level 3 conflict cards give huge possibilities for VP's, especially if you win with sand worms.
When a rival like Baron sends an agent to a board space like Dutiful Service, ignore all normal costs and effects of the board space, instead, it gets only the effects indicated on the revealed card. So the Baron would not receive the 2 solari. Thank you for supporting the channel! Hopefully that helped you out!

Ahhh yes, makes sense! Thanks for clarifying and watching! 😊
What do you mean by control of spaces and resources? It only gains you victory point right? If you have doubles?
When you happen to win first place during a combat some of the turns allow you to win a location such as Arrakeen or Carthag which means that if anyone places their agent at those locations, you will get spice or solari. If you played a worm you'd get double the victory points but only one flag at the city you won.
@@BoardGameJunkies ah yes... thanks. Played our 3 game today. We use the flags. 😉
I hope your game went well! There's tons going on in the game but definitely worth the time spent!
I loved that you have background music!
Thank you! Kristina told me not to use that background music! I have now been vindicated, lol

Thank you for the comment! It can seem overwhelming but once you know all the rules, its a great game! One of our favourites!
video quality is only 360? can't make out the markings on the board or cards
Sorry TH-cam takes a while to update to 4k. The quality will be updated shortly
What do the swords on the Hagar cards do? I thought they got counted onto the conflict count.
Are they only used on that last Hagar card that gets flipped during the conflict?
That's also correct, during the attack phase you flip over a Hagar card and any attack symbols are added to their attack power total value. Thanks for watching!
Also, I thought the rules say soldiers you receive from a conflict place can be placed immediately into the conflict, plus two more if I desire
You can play the soldiers indicated on the location that you moved an agent to, and up to two more soldiers from your reserve
Second place generally has the better reward, but first place is where you can get the matches for victory points. Also, the Level 3 conflict cards give huge possibilities for VP's, especially if you win with sand worms.
Entirely agree with you! How many games have you played? The worms are such a great addition to this game!
@@BoardGameJunkies I have played about 6-7 games of it now, but never at two. I hope the experience at two with a bot player is good.
@JagWoof If played correctly (😬 we made a couple errors), it plays well and fairly.
Very good video.
Thank you!! We're glad you enjoyed it!
At min 5 Baron goes to the Dutiful Service but does not get the 2 solari. Was that correct?
When a rival like Baron sends an agent to a board space like Dutiful Service, ignore all normal costs and effects of the board space, instead, it gets only the effects indicated on the revealed card. So the Baron would not receive the 2 solari. Thank you for supporting the channel! Hopefully that helped you out!
@@BoardGameJunkies Great, thanks for the response ^^
Don't forget to buy some Prepare the Way cards early as well as trashing a dagger and a Dune Desert Planet to accelerate persuasion economy...
Thank you for the video, it is great. Do not like the music though…
Thank you! We thought the Dune theme was a good fit for the game but maybe it was a little low vibe lol, we're glad you enjoyed it atleast!
