Dune: Imperium (2024)

Sending an agent to the right space can deny an opponent an entire plan, while holding a card for the reveal creates a different opportunity later in the round. The digital board game makes this a readable contest over scarce actions, influence and how much to commit to a conflict. Choose an asynchronous lobby if live turn limits would get in the way. The base game provides plenty to learn; the later expansions and Uprising content add rules that a first match does not need.
