Starting Deck

Every player starts with the same 10 cards: 2 Convincing Argument, 2 Dagger, 1 Diplomacy, 2 Dune, the Desert Planet, 1 Reconnaissance, 1 Seek Allies and 1 Signet Ring. Shuffle them face down as your deck.

With Immortality: Replace both Dune, the Desert Planet cards with 2 Experimentation. In an Epic Game, Control the Spice starts in your discard pile instead of replacing a card.

With Rise of Ix: In the Epic Game, replace 1 Dune, the Desert Planet with Control the Spice.
