DUST is the title of a series of comics created by the great artist Paolo Parente and this boardgame is set in this epic adventure world.
The game, presented during the Gama Show of Las Vegas at the end of April 2007, is produced by a new company called Dust Game Ltd and distributed all over the world by different publishers in many languages.
The game has been designed for the players who love a major strategic settings and the English version will provide two different rules books, titled "Premium" and "Epic".
The "Epic" rules are for the player who want a longer game with a more sophisticated strategy, while "premium" rules are for the player who like a faster and easier game.
The italian version of the game uses a slightly different set of rules
In the picture the bilingual (French and Spanish) version of the game box. It gives you an idea of the superb artwork that is part of the project.
Creating a game like this is a big fun but also a big challenge. Luckily the alternate science-fiction history created by Paolo Parente is so great that imaging Second World War battlegrounds with alien technologies and futuristic weapons couldn't be easier..
The art of Paolo really helped us (that is Spartaco Albertarelli and Angelo Zucca) imaging all that strange mechs moving on the battlefield and the even more strange planes flying high in the sky. Everything is described in the comics not to mention the superb sourcebooks detailing all the weapons and characters that we used during the designing of the very first game concept.
In this section of the site you'll find a sort of "backstage" that will give you a brief idea of the game concept and of all the game components that are included in the game box. We hope to share with you all the fun we had developing the game and we really hope that you will enjoy playing it as well as we enjoyed designing.
