Dune Imperium: Digital 1.2.0 Release Notes

We bring you more boons from Arrakis! 

This release squashes several bugs messing with rule mechanics and gameplay. We’ve also spiced up the visuals for certain game events for cards like Foldspace, which now includes animations that trigger when the cards trash themselves. Controller-wielding players, rejoice! We’ve sprinkled in various improvements and fixes just for you. Plus, there are now further adjustments to how animations are handled with turn-timers to ensure that complex turns with many card plays don’t impede gameplay.
