	* The Bene Gesserit (or Xxcha Kingdom in Rex) Player, before the game starts, predicts which player will win, and in what turn. If both of these predictions ~~comes~~ true, ~~even if it~~'~~s an alliance, even if they are in the alliance, even if it~~'~~s one of the above two "default"~~ victories ~~(except in the reprint)~~, and ~~even if~~ the ~~Bene Gesserit~~/Xxcha player ~~has been~~ eliminated, ~~[[Just As Planned\|he wins alone]]~~.		* The Bene Gesserit (or Xxcha Kingdom in Rex) Player, before the game starts, predicts which player will win, and on what turn. If both of these predictions come true, [[Just As Planned\|they win]]. Note that this ''overrides'' factors like other victories, alliances, and the BG/Xxcha player getting eliminated - so along as the prediction comes true, they and ''only'' they win.

	Every faction has a few bonuses, it's just that those three are the ones that involve victory.		Every faction has a few bonuses, it's just that those three are the ones that involve victory.

	* The Spacing Guild (or Emirates of Hacan) starts off pretty weak but accrues wealth as others bring more forces in since all other factions need to pay a tax to them if they revive/recruit soldiers & leaders (latter only if the Thleilaxu aren’t played); their ability to bring in reserves cheaply and move about the board freely favors "hit them where they're weak" strategies.		* The Spacing Guild (or Emirates of Hacan) starts off pretty weak but accrues wealth as others bring more forces in since all other factions need to pay a tax to them if they revive/recruit soldiers & leaders (latter only if the Thleilaxu aren’t played); their ability to bring in reserves cheaply and move about the board freely favors "hit them where they're weak" strategies.
	* The Emperor's (or Lazax Empire) superpower is money, and specifically getting a lot of it and being able to spend it to boost his allies. (This is because you pay ''him'' when you buy a treachery card.) Alongside a couple of [[MEQ\|super-units]] with twice the stats of [[GEQ\|regular soldiers]], they tend to be heavyweights early on but run out of steam once everyone buys up all the cards they’re permitted to hold. If the Emperor is gonna win it's typically gonna be by an alliance with someone.		* The Emperor's (or Lazax Empire) superpower is money, and specifically getting a lot of it and being able to spend it to boost his allies.

	* The Atreides (or Universities of Jol-Nar) get to fucking cheat ("Because he IS the kwisatz haderach!"). Normally factions bid on treachery cards blind.

	* The Fremen (or Federation of Sol) start out poor and divided up. Can ride the sandworms or get out of their way in advance, where every other faction gets nommed by them. They also get a special spawning point on top of a stronghold.		* The Fremen (or Federation of Sol) start out poor and divided up.

Easily the weakest faction in both forces and wealth to compensate for that (although they also don't have to fight if they don't want to by disguising their warriors as diplomats and get free units on the universal neutral space, so getting rid of them is ''hard'').		* The Bene Gesserit (or Xxcha Kingdom) as previously mentioned set their own win prediction and if its true [[Just As Planned\|they win alone]].

	For those who want a more streamlined version, GF9 also offers ''Dune: A Game of Conquest and Diplomacy''. ''Conquest & Diplomacy'' reduces the factions to 4 (Atredies, Harkonnen, Fremen, Imperium) and gets rid of some of the jankiest rules. The card auction is gone, replaced by simply drawing new hands. The old alliance system is also absent and the Imperium has been beefed up a bit compared to the old Emperor. Combat however remains basically unchanged and the visuals have been updated to reflect the new movie. The resulting game plays somewhat like classic Dune but faster and with more emphasis on the spice economy and ground game, at the expense of depth. Baby's First Dune, so to speak.
