Faction Profile for the
Avalon Hill Dune board game.
Harkonnen:
As the Harkonnen you play The Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. Your heroes are Feyd Rautha, Beast Rabban, Piter DeVries, Captain Nefud and Umman Kudu.
The Harkonnen start with a decent sum of money, a large contingent of troops already on Dune and control of Carthag.
The Harkonnens excel in Treachery, and have the following advantages:
- When choosing traitors, rather than picking one of the four face-down Heroes, the Harkonnens get all of them.
- The Harkonnens may hold 8 Treachery Cards instead of 4. Additionally, every time they successfully bid for a Treachery Card they get one additional one for free - which the Atreides don't get to see.
- Every time you win a battle against an opponent, you may randomly select one of your opponent's heroes to either murder, or use as your own.
