Summary

We’re nearing the end of our “Learning Dune Factions” series, and before things get a little crazy, we get to take it easy this week with the very basic Emperor. There aren’t many abilities, and many of the Alliances are fairly straight forward. But how do we utilize this basic set of tools to still succeed? After the guide, there’s three more games worth of Twilight Imperium Tournament Updates! 5:19 - Emperor Overview 12:50 - Alliances 50:46 - Errata: Fremen 53:40 - Tournament Updates! Music by Brian Kupillas. Find more at wanderinglake.bandcamp.com Join in on the discussion here, on our Discord, or at our Board Game Geek Guild. Connect with us on Facebook and Twitter.
