About the game
Ancient robots called Dunaias have been awakened by a strange energy. With their help, players do their best to develop their village while trying to fulfil the 3 objectives of the prophecy. Dunaia is a 1-hour expert management game with a clever and interactive die system: Each turn, the player chooses one available die. Doing so, they awaken the Dunaia of matching value to work on 2 buildings surrounding it. Then the player uses that die on the main board or on a building (even if hostile) to perform a special action. With the Dunaias’ help, the player completes their building and reaps the benefits: metal flowers used as a precious currency or memory chips that recreate ancient artefacts... Creating synergies on one’s board is key for players to adapt to a prophecy that changes with each game.

Questions and answers
Dunaïa supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Dunaïa is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Dunaïa for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Dunaïa has a complexity rating of 2.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
