Editing Twilight Imperium (section)

== [[Rex: Final Days of an Empire]] (Remake of Dune) ==
Fantasy Flight Games (FFG) has licensed the rights to the mechanics of the boardgame version of '''[[Dune]]''' published by Avalon Hill (not the board game based on the movie, the one based on the book).  Fantasy Flight was unable to get the rights to the Dune license.  They re-themed the game to fit into the Twilight Imperium universe. The game now centers on players warring for control of Mecatol Rex during the time when the humans killed the Lazax Emperor via orbital bombardment and sent troops in to mop up the mess (while other races react with opportunism or survival).

<s>but the original game is too awesome to screw up, and Twilight Imperium is also awesome, so we can expect an awesome sandwich with a side order of awesome.</s>  Unfortunately FFG made multiple changes to match to boardgame trends.  This has really dulled the edge of what had been pure evil in cardboard form.

But it's still the best backstab simulator you can get.
