''Dune'' is a strategy board game set in Frank Herbert's ''Dune'' universe, published by Avalon Hill in 1979. The game was designed by Bill Eberle, Jack Kittredge and Peter Olotka. == History == The game was originally designed with a Roman Empire theme, with the name ''Tribute''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://boardgamegeek.com/blogpost/3419/interview-peter-olotka-on-cosmic-encounter-and-dne )〕 Avalon Hill had acquired the license to produce a ''Dune'' game, and contacted Eberle, Kittredge and Olotka when their own design proved unusable. Elements suitable for the Dune universe were added to the game, particularly from their earlier game, ''Cosmic Encounter''. In 1984, to tie in with the Dune film, Avalon Hill published a second edition of the game as well as two expansions, ''Spice Harvest'' and ''The Duel''. The ''Spice Harvest'' expansion changes the initial setup of the standard game by adding a pre-game in which the factions lobby for control of the inter-world Spice market in order to purchase a more advantageous initial position for the start of the main game (control for the planet of Arrakis). ''The Duel'' adds "leader tokens" representing the primary leaders of each faction and a secondary board representing a circular arena for one-on-one combat. Leaders may fight individual combat using a special deck of cards for movement and attacks. Both supplements included additional Treachery Cards. Both supplements are also incorporated into the French edition published by Jeux Descartes. In addition, Avalon Hill's strategy magazines, ''The General'' and ''Heroes'', published counters and rules for three additional factions: the Bene Tleilax, the Ixians, and the Landsraad, factions/organizations appearing in Frank Herbert's original novels. The game was reprinted by Fantasy Flight Games in 2012 as ''Rex: Final Days of an Empire''. Fantasy Flight was able to acquire the rights to the system used in Dune (known as the “Simultaneous Dial Based Order System”), but were not able to get the license for the Dune setting. As a result, the game's setting was switched to Fantasy Flight's Twilight Imperium universe.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=At the Heart of the Galaxy )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dune (board game)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
