Dune: House secrets

DUNE: HOUSE SECRETS is a cooperative story-driven game where you join the resistance against House Harkonnen and experience a series of Chapters in the world of Dune. You play each Chapter through a series of Encounters trying to reach specific Goals. Your ability to pursue Encounters is limited by Time, making it impossible to experience every Encounter. This limitation means that many of the mysteries within the story must be deduced.

At the end of every Chapter you must complete a Status Report consisting of information you’ve acquired and proposals of how to proceed—these Status Reports influence the overall direction of the story.

There are no winners or losers. Instead, your experiences and decisions create a story all your own!

Encounters

Your purpose as Rebel agents on Arrakis is very simple—uncover the secrets, and discover the story. The game is played out by resolving Encounters. As you read and resolve each Encounter you’ll begin to uncover a unique story filled with action and intrigue.

Experience

Spending the Experience points you’ve gained allows you to level up your Characters. This is done by placing Skill stickers on the dedicated spaces of Character and Advocate boards. Skills require you to spend your Experience points.

BONUS: Character Backstories

Want to know what brought your characters to Tel Gezer? You’ll learn about their past in four pre-order exclusive booklets dedicated to each of the player’s characters. These short stories constitute a Prequel to Dune: House Secrets campaign and will make you better prepared for the story to come.
