Description

In Dune: The Art of Kanly, players dive into a world of bluffing and deception, vying for influence over various factions in the Dune universe. Each player starts with two face-down cards, representing factions like the Bene Gesserit or Fremen, which grant special actions. Players can claim to have a specific faction card to use its action, but they can also bluff, making false claims to outmaneuver their opponents. As the game unfolds, players challenge each other's claims, and penalties are paid for revealed bluffs or false accusations. The goal is to be the last player with face-down cards or to accumulate 13 Spice. In a surprising twist, players can also negotiate for a shared victory using the "allied victory" ability, adding a layer of strategy and social interaction to the game. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of just 10 to 30 minutes, Dune: The Art of Kanly is a quick and engaging game for 2 to 6 players.
