Dixit: Disney, and brand new and enchanting collaboration between board game publisher Libellud/Asmodee and entertainment giant Disney, takes the beloved storytelling game that is Dixit to a whole new level. Allowing players to Immerse themselves in the wondrous world of Disney and Pixar, you embark on a journey of imagination, interpretation, and guesswork. With 84 extremely well illustrated cards inspired by iconic Disney films, this new standalone edition of Dixit promises hours of family-friendly entertainment.
Bringing together the charm of Dixit and the almost universal appeal of Disney, this game offers a seamless blend of storytelling, creativity, and whimsical artistry. Even more so than in other games, players of all ages will be able to enjoy giving clever clues and scoring points – partly because the Disney origins of the artwork give everything more context, especially to younger players.
As with most Dixit games, the true standout of Dixit: Disney lies in its high quality illustrations. Artist Natalie Dombois has crafted 84 unique images inspired by Disney and Pixar films, and each is worth just checking out by itself. The attention to detail, combined with the somewhat magical touch of Dixit’s signature art style, make this edition especially attractive from a visual point of view.
Dixit’s gameplay mechanics, which have been around for a while by now, remain as captivating as ever here. The process of giving and guessing clues ensures lively discussions and moments of delightful revelation, with conversations being especially easy because most players will have some kind of context with the source material this time around. The scoring system, though initially requiring a brief explanation if you haven’t played Dixit before, keeps the pace brisk, with games typically concluding in way less than the 30 minutes listed for a playthrough.
But while the inclusion of 84 new cards doesn’t seem like a low number, the potential for card repetition over multiple play sessions is relatively high as you’ll see quite a few of them in a single session. This is a consideration for players seeking a game they’re looking to play multiple times over the course of an evening with the same people.
In addition, a solid familiarity with Disney and Pixar films is advantageous for optimal gameplay. Players who are somewhat well-versed in the diverse Disney universe will find it easier to craft clues and recognize the scenes that are being depicted, though a casual knowledge goes a long way here as well.
Dixit: Disney is a delightful fusion of Dixit-style storytelling and Disney magic that transcends generations, making for a great option for family game nights. The exquisite artwork, combined with the enduring gameplay mechanics of Dixit, creates an experience that is both nostalgic and easy to relate to. Whether you’re a seasoned Dixit fan or a Disney enthusiast, this edition is a must-have for family game nights and gatherings with friends. Celebrating the art of imagination and storytelling, this is a great choice with the holidays coming up.
