This expansion picks up where The Rise of Ix left off (see "'Dune: Imperium - Rise of Ix'") by exploring the genetic side of technological innovations. The Bene Tleilax, or the Tleilaxu, make their entrance into the game with their shady dealings aimed at harvesting genetic specimens. The expansion adds a mechanic that allows players to graft cards together to help boost their agents as well as the Bene Tleilax board itself.
The game box comes with a Bene Tleilax board, 8 wooden player pieces, over 75 cards, 4 Family Atomics punch tokens, a Research station overlay, and rules. It requires a Dune: Imperium core set to play and will retail for $30.00.
