Monopoly: Dune, the most recent edition of the classic board game from The Op | Usaopoly, is now available for preorder, ahead of Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment’s theatrical release of Dune: Part Two next year.
It’s the spice — and maybe the tension that accompanies all Monopoly family game nights — that will make this board game an instant hit for Dune lovers.

Players can venture across the sand of Arrakis as they move around the board. Developed in collaboration with Gale Force Nine and Genuine Entertainment, the board features characters from the franchise, such as Paul Atredies and Lady Jessica, as they appear in the 2021 and 2024 Dune films. Images of Zendaya as Chani, Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan Corrino, and other characters from different factions fill the game board spaces.Â
Players can buy, sell, and trade influence with Solari, a custom Dune currency, in place of dollars. Players move around the board to establish Leverage (Houses) and Loyalty (Hotels) with collective tokens that mirror objects from the franchise. They can also choose from a Ducal Ring, Crysknife, Gom Jabbar, Muad’dib, Maker Hooks, or Ornithopter as their game piece.Â
Chance and Community chest cards are now Fate and Politics cards, further immersing the player into the Dune universe. The goal is to bankrupt others of their precious Solari in this friendly competition.Â
Monopoly: Dune is available for preorder today at shop.legendary.com for $44.99. Monopoly: Dune will be available at other retailers later this month.
