Dune Choam & Richese House Expansion

This exciting expansion for the Dune board game brings in two fresh factions, the CHOAM and the Richese, along with 2 new game variants. The Combine Honnete Ober Advancer Mercantiles, known as CHOAM, was a powerhouse in the cosmos, controlling most of the economic affairs. It had a special interest in Arrakis, beyond just spice production. As the biggest single source of wealth in the Imperium, influence in CHOAM was a key point in political scheming. Its leaders and bureaucrats were all about controlling vital products that benefited both the Great Houses and CHOAM itself. House Richese, like the Ixians, was well - known for its cleverness and great tech inventions. But Count Ilban Richese made some business mistakes that almost led to bankruptcy. After losing control of Arrakis, they had to sell off important creations to keep competing. This expansion also features Leader Skills, allowing you to assign skills like Mentat, Swordmaster of Ginaz, or Prana Bindu Adept to your leader discs. And there are Advanced Stronghold Cards that give you an edge when battling in a stronghold you control.

To use this expansion, simply add the new CHOAM and Richese factions to your existing Dune board game. When setting up, make sure to include the 2 new variants for a more exciting gameplay. For Leader Skills, just pick a skill from the available ones and assign it to one of your leader discs at the start of the game. The Advanced Stronghold Cards should be placed near the strongholds on the board. When you're in a battle at a stronghold you control, use these cards to get an advantage. As for maintenance, keep all the cards and discs in a dry place to prevent damage. Avoid bending the cards and handle the discs gently. If you notice any dirt on the cards, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean them.
