Dune Space Civilization Power Struggle Game 1979 Avalon Hill No. 824 USED

Among the countless planets inhabiting the galaxies of the universe, there exists a small and inconspicuous bit of rock and sand known to its inhabitants as Dune. It boasts practically no vegetation and so little water that a man exposed on its surface would dehydrate in minutes. Its scarred terrain is swept by wind storms of super-hurricane velocity and inhabited by giant sandworms often a quarter mile in length who devour anything that moves in the open.

Dune is the battleground in a power struggle among the worlds' most powerful factions. It, alone, is the source of melange, a spice which prevents aging and confers prescient abilities to its consumer, essential to deep space navigation upon which civilization depends for its continued existence. Whoever controls Dune and its spice, has the power to rule the universe.
