Is this game hard to learn

[Imortalin]

Never played a board game or card game other than magic the gathering lol. But I do like Dune and the universe it is set in. Thinking about getting this along with Spice Wars being that I am a big Civ 6 fan. Please let me know.

Nope. I hesitated buying it for awhile because it looked like it would be hard and a lot to learn. I also enjoy the Dune Universe though so I kept coming back looking at it for months until I finally just broke down and bought it. I am glad I did. Its really fun and I'd say it is a game that is easy to learn but will take some time to master. The games are really quick, usually under an hour, and since I bought it I have been playing it more than anything else in my library.

Ok thank you so much.

There is a solid tutorial in the game that teaches you the basics of the game in chunks. The fact it's a computer port of the board game is nice because you can't accidentally break the rules when learning the game.

There is also a log that tells you what happened in the turn in case you're confused about how X got more troops, a point, etc.

OK thank you so much...

Easy to learn, Hard to Master

Short answer: around 3 minutes to learn rules.

Long explanation:
I haven't bought this game for a very long time because I'm very skeptical of overhyped titles and I have no interest in Dune at all.
I thought it might be something over complicated or another two hours solitaire like Terraforming Mars or Ark Nova.

Out of curiosity, I watched a video explaining the rules on YT and after 3 minutes... literally... I knew how to play.

The design is so elegant and logical that it is self-explanatory.

A very simple game, offering a lot of tactical possibilities and, fortunately, interactive in its own way.

As a project and digital implementation, I put it on par with Through the Ages, Spirit Island, as another masterpiece.

The game shows you what is possible by highlighting only what you can choose. It is therefore easy in the sense that you don't have to remember all the rules, the game remembers them for you and prevents you from doing illegal stuff.

It's not difficult to learn to play but there's plenty to get your teeth into if you want to get good at it! I love this game, I think it's top quality!
