Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Confused about all the different versions of Dixit? I've compiled a list of all the different versions. Please mark the review as helpful so others are more likely to see it! 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. About the Different Versions: Asmodee did a really good job of making the different versions of Dixit as confusing as possible. 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 7 sets: Dixit, Dixit Odyssey, Dixit Quest (Dixit 2), Dixit Journey (Dixit 3), Dixit Origins (Dixit 4), Dixit Daydreams (Dixit 5), and Dixit Memories (Dixit 6). 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 Quest Board Game 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 Game US name: Dixit Odyssey Euro name: Dixit Odyssey 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 3 Artist: Xavier Collette Dixit Journey is a standalone set that comes with 84 cards and everything you need to play with up to 6 players. Older printings of Dixit Journey came with pawn shaped tokens and space in the box to store 84 cards. Newer printings of Dixit Journey come with bunny shaped tokens and space in the box to store 336 cards (Dixit Journey's 84 cards plus 3 other sets). The European version, called Dixit, 3 is an expansion with just the cards from 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. Dixit Memories Board Game 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. 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. This Version Compared to Other Versions: Originally I bought plain Dixit (the older pre-2012 printing), and while I loved the game concept and mechanics, I was really disappointed with the design of the board. While that board was cute and whimsical, the little stepping stones that represented movement spaces were way too small to accommodate more than a couple player tokens at a time despite the game supporting six players. The problem was compounded by the bunny shaped player tokens which are poorly balanced and have a tendency to fall on their face when moving them. This standalone version of Dixit Odyssey supports 12 players instead of 6. The board was redesigned to be more functional, albeit less whimsical. The bunny tokens were redesigned to be more stable. Scoring has been simplified by utilizing numbers along the board and a voting card rather than voting chits, plus some optional alternative scoring rules are included that change the game up so that everyone guesses every round as well as introduces a second guessing mechanic.
