Libellud Dixit Expansion: Revelations

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.

I became a fan of this whole Dixit universe mainly due to the beautifulness of the pictures on the cards. The game itself isnt anything too special, but the sole images and amount of details on them - even the boxs, I might add - look overwhelming.For this reason, I decided to get closer to it and got all 3 sets of the game (Dixit, Dixit 2 and Odyssey), and just before opening my package I was extremely excited.However, something in particular immediatly got my attention. I got very curious when I didnt see "Dixit 2" as a small box containing the 84 cards - that I was expecting to find -, and saw in its place one major 17,5cm x 19,5cm x 12,5cm box. Upon opening this box, I noticed that inside of it there were not 1, but 12 smaller boxes, each of them containing the expected pack of 84 cards, that would make the Dixit 2 installment. Thats 12 times the same 84 cards, for a total of 1008 cards (repeated, but still) and for the price of just one.Now I can marvel enough at the amazingness of these games, since I wont be running short on cards anytime soon LOL.Not that Im complaining or anything, but thats obviously a minus to the seller.As for the item itself, "Thank you very much" to whoever gave it to the world.

I own loads of classical board games of all times but this game is my strong NO. 1 !!!I recommend this game to loads of my friends already. Once they try it - they fell in love with it too!- It’s great for everyone (age 5+ onwards)- it’s not competitive (unless you make it to be)- gets you talking- fun of guessing how others see things- extremely creative- you can play it all over! It’s a different experience depending who you play it with- contains beautiful pictures to analyseI already bought two expansions packs but would love to get the whole set. Perfect for presents!

This was bought for friends for Christmas but ended up playing with them and really enjoyed what is quite a weird game. Strange pictures and quite expensive for what it is but a lot of fun. hard to explain concept even though it's relatively simple. Takes's some thinking about but really warmed to it after a while. Interesting.

Perfect more card there are better it is

Great, fantastic, get it you will love it! I bought this game for my son for Christmas as he had requested. It is such a fantastic game that can be played by any age really. Simple to play but with loads of entertainment value. We have played it loads of times with our teenagers and other family members and friends. We have now bought the extra set of cards as we did start to get a few repititions. However, you will find that even if several people get the same card, the game is never the same. Buy it now, for hours of fun entertainment

Arrived on time, in good condition, have endless fun with family an friends, will definitely consider buying all expansion packs.
