Each player selects the die they rolled with the highest value. The player with the highest roll wins the round and the strength of the losing character is reduced by one. The battle continues until one character has their strength reduced to zero. That character is out of the game. The winning character has their strength increased by one and gains all of the losing character's equipment.
Equipment adds to a character's strength or gives advantages to that player's faction.
Play continues until only one faction has any characters remaning. The player controlling that faction is the winner. The best part of the Dune game is its components. The character cards have full portraits of all of the major characters from the movie. The rings used for the charcters first appeared in the game Shadowlord .
