fantastic game
I’ve bought this product for several people now, including myself. Such a great game, the art is amazing and everyone I’ve shown the game to has become infatuated with it!
great for all ages, from children to adults!
Fun game for adults or childre
Played this great game recently at a friend’s house. We played as a group of 5 (mixture of men and women in our 20s) and all enjoyed it. A simple game to follow and fun to play. Helps players get to know eachother and the way they think.
lovely game
Beautiful game. Easy to get the gist of and playable with all ages.
Thoroughly recommended as a family game, but I’ve added it to the rotation for my adult friends who enjoy the gentleness and the need for creativity in your answers.
The instructions come in french, a quick google search finds them in english, but a star removed for this bit of necessary faffiness.
Each player has a selection of cards, and take it in turns to play a card and come up with a description that most (but not every) other player will use to recognise the card amongst some others. A simple premise but surprisingly difficult at times.
Definitely differe
This is definitely the one to go for for bigger groups but beware that the rules differ depending on how many players you have.
We had had a few games with 5 players and got used to those rules. then when we got the game out with our friends and realised there were different rules for 12 players we were a bit confused! Just for a few moments, nothing too complex but you know what it’s like with a big noisy group!
I personally love the game but am giving it 4 stars as my (adult) daughter isn’t keen. so maybe this game isn’t for everyone. It’s different and requires a bit of imagination and people reading skills so maybe suits people who aren’t rule bound types. I think my daughter prefers catan and strategy type games.
However it’s definitely one to have in your games cupboard for parties. On balance, we had more laughs with telestrations but i really enjoyed this too
A great game for all.
A good game where every player is involved every go. No special knowledge or skill is required by anyone so all are on an equal footing (though it can help a bit if you think alike 🙂 )
Enjoyed Dixit in a games cafe and bought the odyssey ...
Enjoyed Dixit in a games cafe and bought the odyssey version for the family as it was recommended by a friend. The game is good fun, though some of the pictures felt quite sinister and disturbing…
If you like the original and want to play with more than 6 then this is for you.
A great game however the edition I received was in French! The instructions however are available online from the manufacturer however it kinda wastes the look with a printed set of instructions. If you are considering buying this as something different having tried the first game. The rules don’t really differ. However for the illustrations included in the box I thought it was worth it alone. You get a new board rather than using the box, and now enough rabeeples for up to 12 players. I personally would have preferred if they had left the voting the same, now each player has a board that you stick pegs into so it can be difficult to keep your voting secret. If you have the original and don’t require more than 6 players the cards from this set can be bought as an expansio
Good family fu
This is a great game that’s simple to play but harder to describe, although it is essentially a description game. At the start of the game each player is given a number of cards. On your turn you give a description of the picture on your card, put face down, and each other player adds one of their cards which they think is the most similar to the description that you gave. All the cards are then shuffled and turned over. To score points you want at least one player to pick your card, but not too many or else they will receive points instead of you. It’s simple enough to play, and once you get the hang of it, and it can get very competitive!
Instantly enjoyed by all the family
Instantly enjoyed by all the family,(my 3 yr old even sat and loved talking about what he could see in the cards!) Great art work,which is one of the game’s best feature. Not difficult to learn so for people not wanting to spend time figuring out rules and strategies this is a winner!
It's great fun with a large group of people
I’d never heard of this game until a friend bought an older version around so when I decided to buy the game myself and noticed that a more up to date game was now available I grab it. It’s great fun with a large group of people. I’d thoroughly recommend this game.
Big Hi
I got this game based on good reviews on here and also the Tabletop play-through on youtube. Wasn’t sure whether my family would be into the creative style of Dixit, but wow, this was a huge hit with everyone. It is such a unique game, people loved the artwork and the bunnies, and very much enjoyed the game itself. Nobody struggled for creativity which was my main concern when buying this game. Everybody had a blast and wanted to play it again. This version allows for 12 players too, which is great for big groups. I got a couple of the expansions too just to provide extra cards to have fun with. I would recommend the expansions but obviously it makes the game more expensive. If you play often you may find you go through the same cards a lot, which doesn’t matter so much as you make a new answer for the same card each time, but still you may want to freshen up the deck at some point.
Possibly our favourite family game now. Definitely recommend purchasing if you don’t currently own a dixit game already.
Great Easy Game For All The Family
When you first open the box you may think it’s going to be really complex, but it really isn’t. This is the sort of game anyone of any age can enjoy. The cards are complex enough to allow repeated play, and it’s up to imaginations of your players to describe something on the card (often leading to really funny or just incredulous).
Amazing
I played the original Dixit and loved it, I bought Odyssey as a friend already has Dixit, and both have become firm favourites.
Very happy that the game has been extended to have enough room for 12 players, which makes it a great party game.
There is even room in the box to add the expansions (and the original cards).
No imagination No game
This game is all about your imagination and also how well you know each other. The object of the game is describe your card in as many or little words as you want, the way to score as the describer is to make it easy enough that someone gets it but not everyone. You don’t score if everyone gets it or if no-one gets it. Sometimes when you think your being clever, you’ve made it too easy or hard. Very laidback game which can have up to 13 players I think, very family friendly kids actually find things you never would which is what makes this game so good. Would recommend to anyone who wants a game to play which is easy to pick up, only 30-45 mins a game and something you can eat snacks and chat too.
great game
great party game that everyone and anyone should be able to play with. great for kids as well.
they card have unique art work. but extremely fun. well worth the buy
We love Dixit and this is probably the best expansion or stand alone version because it makes it a lot more simple to score up. All of the rules and principles are the same, it is just that the player score cards save so much time you can concentrate on playing rather than keeping track of who voted for what. Biggest bonus, it works with 12 players now which makes it brilliant for bigger parties.
Best Dixit version, if you can only get one, get this (although we have all four because we like the different cards).
Awesome game
Loads of fun when played with more than 3 players. Perfect as a party game as every round involves all the players and no one needs to wait for someone else’s turn.
Got the game just in time for my work colleagues get together… A few interesting descriptions were found ^_^
An equally great stand-alone expansion for an already great game!
Dixit Odyssey takes a great party card game, Dixit, and expands it so that more players can play together.
The new cards are equally great if not even more interesting!
Tghe game also offers some pleasant variants tot he standard gameplay, that although not necessarily better they will see a few plays.
Highly recommended
When I saw this and all the amazing publicity shots that go with it, I thought we had to get hold of this new, presumed overhauled version of the much-loved and much-enjoyed “Dixit”. It did look like a very different game, a radical new take, a proper, stunning odyssey with all kinds of surprises along the way.
It isn’t. I was disappointed to discover -much as we love it here- that this is pretty much “Dixit” again. The track to follow and win the game is linear this time (but there is still the same objective of reaching 30). The voting cards are very nice, sturdy, and look very different from the previous voting tokens, but it is pretty much a question of form rather than content. If anything, this time you are more likely to be spotted at your secret voting because pegs are inserted in the too wide holes of the voting cards and are often easily seen by other players when you try to hold them in place.
The other difference: you can vote for up to 2 image-cards giving you more chances of getting it right but also diminishing your score. Players -other than the narrator- who get a vote on their proposed image-card also score 1 point. So, scoring is the biggest change, and yet it is not revolutionary at all, it’s tiny tweaking.
If you already own “Dixit” maybe you will feel somehow cheated (you can use your old game and just mildly change the voting and scoring rules and you’ve got “Dixit Odyssey”). I felt let down too that only 84 new cards come with this game that can be played by up to 12 people (ideal for parties) and very soon we had to re-enter the already used cards by adding them to the bottom of the fast dwindling pile (before even the first game was over!). You will need an expansion very soon.
As a standalone game, it is as great as “Dixit” was, it will make you laugh, it’s original, beautiful and inspirational. Some people may think it is an improvement on the first game. For me, and coming and judging from my experience with “Dixit”, well, “Odyssey” just isn’t new at all, and I had to drop one star from its rating for that reason.
Anyone that owns “Dixit” and is looking for something as great and exquisite but absolutely different and unique, check “Fabula” out, it has the same team behind.
