Dune: Imperium expansions
Dune: Imperium – Immortality vs Dune: Imperium – Uprising
Short answer: buy Dune: Imperium – Immortality first. Good pick if your group wants a stronger deck-building side; some BGG players prefer it over Rise of Ix.
Pick Dune: Imperium – Uprising first instead if this sounds more like your table: It is a standalone replacement, not an add-on: reviewers rate it better than the original, but you are buying a second full game. Get it if you want the newer version; skip it if base plus Rise of Ix already suits you.
