Libellud Dixit Expansion 4 Origins

Dixit 2 is the expansion kit for the 2010 Spiel des Jahres winning game Dixit. We have several previous winning games (Ticket to Ride, Settlers of Catan, Carcasonne, Zooloretto etc) and they are all family favourites, continually providing an enjoyable playing experience over and over again. We couldn't wait to get our hands on this years winner, but being out of stock, we bought the expansion kit. This has 84 random cards you use as the basis for the storytelling. It does not have any scoring markers or voting cards, but I don't think we've missed out on any enjoyment. We simply use a paper and pencil for scoring, and vote using playing cards. (We've downloaded the rules from the Dixit website)The fun comes in the storytelling and trying to match cards to win more points. And what fun we've had. We all play (2 adults, 9 year old and 7 year old) and get equal enjoyment out of it. My wife and I were amazed the first few times we played it at how lateral and metaphorical our kids could be.The basic game is that you each have 6 cards with random pictures. One player, the storyteller, uses a phrase to "describe" one of his / her cards, and places this face down. All other players then choose a card in their hand that could also be described by that phrase, and pass the hand to the storyteller, who shuffles the cards and places them face up for all to see. Each player (except the storyteller) then votes, secretly so as not to influence others, for the card they think is the one. Scoring depends on whether everyone picks the storyteller's card or not, and who votes for different cards.The game is fast moving enough to not get boring, and takes about 20 - 30 minutes to play. The only drawback seems to be that scoring is fairly linear, so if someone pulls out a large lead early on, it is difficult to catch up. Many other Spiel des Jahres winners have a scoring mechanism where significant points are earned at the end of the game that can overturn apparently unassailable leads.Overall, I'd highly recommend this game. We've enjoyed playing with as just adults, as a family, across three generations, and each time everyone has enjoyed it, and wanted to play again.

Beautiful like all Dixit decks, even MORE pretty even. So special with the golden things. It doesn't mix-and-match sooo well with others because of the color palette maybe? Also the cards are more sober, and we've found we can play around less with meanings. But since I have all Dixit decks, this one is also wonderful.

Great designs. These really add to the base game. However they are NOT gold foiled like other reviews suggest. I contacted Asmodee who confirmed the gold was only for the first print run.

We played the Dixit game with friends and really fell in love with it.Consequently we bought the game for ourselves and had hours and hours of joy playing it with different people.They all loved it ,too and bought us an extension card set for us,too. We have now bought the Original game and an extension set for friends because we are moving away,and they loved playing it so much ! It is one of these games where it doesn't matter if one wins- it's mostly about the fun playing it.It is played in the round,so everybody picks a card and tells a clue about it..then the Others try and find a card on their hand to match the clue and pass it on to the One whose turn it is.Then all the cards are laid out in the middle and the players guess which was the original card.. .The game challenges your fantasy, it brings you lots of fun,and the time passes far too quickly while you are having fun with your friends or family.We can both highly highly recommend it ! The delivery was very very quick,too.

The artwork is amazing - beautiful, clever and sometimes creepy.The game plays really well with these cards as there's plenty to spark the imagination. I probably prefer this set to the original.

Lovely new cards to add to Dixit, or use as a standalone game if you write your own scores. We are big fans of Dixit, and have played it with everyone that has come round, and it is a big hit with everyone. The new cards are just as good. I recommend it, as it gives more variety when you play.

Very beautiful illustrations and you can actually play this on its own without the base game but you will need to create your own way of marking. But really good and easy game to play.

The art is incredible, and anyone I've played it with has paused on multiple occasions to compliment the art of a card in their hand or in play. This fixes my main issue with Odyssey having too bland of an art style for my tastes. A must-buy to add conversation starters to your base Dixit.

Hat alles gut gefallen.

This set of Dixit cards is equally interesting and designed to fit the theme. I have used it for multiple educational purposes - storytelling, reflection on learning, getting to know each other, in coaching, as a coversation starter - with kids and adults in various contexts. Higly recommended for all kinds of applications.

Ha venido totalmente nuevo! Todo en sus plásticos y a pesar de lo que estamos viviendo con el tema Covid-19, me ha llegado en una semana! Estupendo todo, voy a dejar unas fotos para que lo veáis. El plástico principal que venía se lo he quitado antes de hacer las fotos, pero se ve con claridad que es totalmente nuevo!

Our family loves Dixit and adding this gave our game new life!

Me encanta, los dibujos de las cartas son preciosos, he comprado hasta la segunda expansión, es muy imaginativo
