Interview with Jack Reda, Dune Board Games | Dune Final Trailer Reactions

On this special Dune Talk show we welcome Jack Reda, from Future Pastimes, one of the designers behind the two Dune board games published by Gale Force Nine. We discuss both the 'Dune: Classic' board game (reimagined in 2019) and this year's brand-new game, featuring the visuals of Villeneuve's movie adaptation: 'Dune: A Game of Conquest and Diplomacy'. Jack takes us behind the scenes into the creation of these games and explains what makes each of them unique. And of course, we've had more Dune movie news: Garin, Jack, and Marcus share their reactions to the stunning final trailer and look ahead to the film's imminent release.
