About the Different Versions: The different versions of Dixit can be confusing since the publishers used different naming conventions and there are both standalone and expansion versions of some sets. All versions of Dixit use the same card size and have the same card back so they are all compatible with each other. Here is what I was able to figure to the best of my knowledge: There are 8 sets: Dixit, Dixit Odyssey, Dixit Quest (Dixit 2), Dixit Journey (Dixit 3), Dixit Origins (Dixit 4), Dixit Daydreams (Dixit 5), Dixit Memories (Dixit 6), and Dixit Revelations (Dixit 7). Dixit Jinx is a totally separate game with square shaped cards. Dixit US name: Dixit Euro name: Dixit Artist: Marie Cardouat Standalone game that comes with 84 cards and everything you need to play with up to 6 players. There are several different printings. The older version, also called Dixit (International Rules Version), comes with a scoring track built into the box and space to hold the 84 cards. It can be identified with a German Game of the Year icon on the front of the box. The newer version, Dixit, being printed since 2012, comes with a foldable scoring track that is less cute but more functional than the scoring track in the old/international version and space to hold 336 cards (Dixit's 84 cards plus 3 other sets). It can be identified by the word "Family" on the front of the box. Dixit 2: Quest US name: Dixit Quest Euro name: Dixit 2 Artist: Marie Cardouat Dixit Quest is an expansion that comes with 84 cards. A standalone version of the game (Dixit, Dixit Odyssey, or Dixit Journey) is required to play. Dixit Odyssey Dixit Odyssey (expansion) US name: Dixit Odyssey / Dixit Odyssey (expansion) Euro name: Dixit Odyssey / Dixit Odyssey (expansion) Artists: drawn by Piero colored by Marie Cardouat Available as both a standalone version and an expansion. Both come with the same 84 cards but the standalone version also comes with everything you need to play with up to 12 players. Dixit: Journey US name: Dixit: Journey Euro name: Dixit: Journey Artist: Xavier Collette Dixit: Journey is a standalone set that comes with 84 cards and everything needed to play with up to 6 players. Older printings came with pawn shaped tokens and space in the box to store 84 cards. Newer printings came with bunny shaped tokens and space in the box to store 336 cards (Dixit Journey's 84 cards plus 3 other sets). The box art has a blue background with a collage of cards. Dixit 3: Journey US name: Dixit 3: Journey Euro name: Dixit 3 Artist: Xavier Collette Dixit 3 was an expansion with just the cards from Dixit Journey. The box art has an orange background with a girl sitting on a blue rug. Since 2014, the name was changed to Dixit 3: Journey, but continues to be an expansion, not a standalone set like Dixit: Journey. Dixit: Origins US name: Dixit: Origins Euro name: Dixit 4 Artist: Clement Lefevre Dixit: Origins is an expansion that comes with 84 cards. A standalone version of the game (Dixit, Dixit Odyssey, or Dixit Journey) is required to play. Dixit: Daydreams US name: Dixit: Daydreams Euro name: Dixit 5 Daydreams Artist: Franck Dion Dixit: Daydreams is an expansion that comes with 84 cards. A standalone version of the game (Dixit, Dixit Odyssey, or Dixit Journey) is required to play. The box art has a king looking at a moon and fish. Dixit: Memories US name: Dixit: Memories Euro name: Dixit 6: Memories Artist: Carine Hinder and Jérôme Pélissier Dixit: Memories is an expansion that comes with 84 cards. A standalone version of the game (Dixit, Dixit Odyssey, or Dixit Journey) is required to play. The box art has a red haired girl and some creatures looking down at a village from a yellow hole in the sky. Dixit: Revelations US name: Dixit: Revelations Euro name: Dixit 7: Revelations Artist: Marina Coudray Dixit: Revelations is an expansion that comes with 84 cards. A standalone version of the game (Dixit, Dixit Odyssey, or Dixit Journey) is required to play. The box art has a blue mermaid sitting on the roof of a building. Dixit Jinx Card Game US name: Dixit Jinx Euro name: Dixit Jinx Artist: Dominique Ehrhard Dixit Jinx is a standalone game that is totally separate from the other versions of Dixit. It comes with 71 double-sided square cards with simple abstract images, plus 9 selection cards. It's a quicker game, and while there are some similarities in the mechanics with one player picking a card and other players guessing which one based on a clue, it is still quite different. About Dixit in General: Dixit is a game about creativity, subtlety, storytelling, and whimsical art. While there technically is a winner in games of Dixit, it shouldn't be approached as a competitive game. Most people tend to either love it or hate it. Gamers focused on strategy, tactics, winning or literal minded people are less likely to enjoy the game than creative people, artists, or those comfortable with metaphors.
