DUNE INSTRUCTIONS
THE OBJECTIVE OF DUNE
You play Paul Atreides, son of Duke Leto. You have just arrived on the desert planet Dune with your family
which has been granted the right by the Emperor to mine the galaxy’s most precious resource - spice.
Previously this right was held solely by the Harkonnens, sworn enemies of the House of Atreides, who still
control a third of the planet. As Paul you must win over the local inhabitants of Dune the Fremen - slaves of
the Harkonnens - and to side with you in a war to rid Dune of all Harkonnens.
Dune is a tactical adventure game and therefore we do not cover everything in the manual. It is up to you, as
Paul, to discover the way to rid Dune of the Harkonnen threat and liberate the Fremen.
• NB There is an ancient Fremen prophecy concerning a Mahdi ‘The One Who Will Lead Us To Paradise and a
Lisan Al Gaib or ‘Voice From The Outer World’ - an off-world prophet who would free them from bondage.
