The expansion "Dune. Ecaz and Moritani" expands the classic strategy board game Dune: A Game of Conquest, Diplomacy & Betrayal, adding two new great factions — House Ecaz (Ecaz) and House Moritani (Moritani). These houses bring unique styles of play, new tactical opportunities, and additional mechanics that make the games even deeper and more interesting.
What this expansion adds
