Welcome New Houses Ixians and Tleilaxu to Dune

Welcome New Houses Ixians and Tleilaxu to Dune
Board Game: Dune
• If you're a fan of Dune and looking for a present this holiday season, you can ask someone to preorder Dune: Ixians & Tleilaxu for you, this being an expansion due out in Q2 2020 from U.S. publisher Gale Force Nine that adds two new houses to the Dune board game:
Quote:
—Tleilaxu: Led by a small council of Tleilaxu Masters, the fanatic, xenophobic Tleilaxu were tolerated because of their useful genetic engineering superiority. Although underestimated and loathed by others, they hoped to someday dominate all.

—Ixian: The cyborg, Prince Rhombur of House Vernius, leads the Ixians, masters of manufacturing and technologies only they know how to deploy.

Each house brings new game mechanisms to help you gain advantages over your rivals.
