Advanced Mode
This special mode makes Ecological Testing Stations more unpredictable, versatile, and impactful.
Setup
During setup, shuffle the deck of 6 Ecological Testing Station cards and place it facedown next to the board.
Drawing an Ecological Testing Station Card
When an Atreides Legion moves into an Area containing an Ecological Testing Station, the Atreides player chooses one of the following:
- Apply the regular rules: reveal the Ecological Testing Station token and advance the Prescience marker corresponding to the hidden symbol.
- Draw the top Ecological Testing Station card and apply its effects, ignoring the hidden symbol on the Ecological Testing Station token. Then, discard both the card and the token (unless the card text specifies otherwise).
Ecological Testing Station Cards
The Lost Sietch
Place 1 Deployment token and 1 Naib Leader in this Area.
Sandworm Nest
Place 1 Sandworm in an adjacent empty Desert Area of your choice.
Panoplia Propheticus
If Paul or Jessica are currently in this Area, immediately advance the Kwisatz Haderach Prescience marker (green) 2 steps.
Harkonnen Ambush
The Harkonnen player makes the following special attack against the Atreides Legion in this Area: Roll 3 Combat Dice, scoring 1 Hit for each Hit result (dagger symbol) and 2 Hits for each Special result (starburst symbol). If any Atreides Unit survives, advance the Jihad Prescience marker (red) 2 steps.
Note: the card shows these two results as icons only. Their names (Hit, Special) are matched to the dice results defined in the base rulebook; this is the transcriber's mapping.
Secret Palmary
Reveal the Ecological Testing Station token, but do not discard it. If there are Atreides Units in the same Area as the token at the start of the End of the Round phase, discard the token and immediately advance the Sand Dwellers Prescience marker (orange) 2 steps. Otherwise, simply discard the token.
Terraforming Equipment
Immediately perform a Desert Power action.
