Dixit Expansions Guide (2026) — Every Set & Which to Buy First

The first expansion ever released for Dixit, arriving two years after the base game — and illustrated by Marie Cardouat, the same artist behind the original cards. That's exactly why it's the safest possible first purchase: everyday scenes twisted with a touch of the fantastic, in a style that blends seamlessly with what you already own.

Not a card pack but a full standalone game: 84 new cards, a bigger scoring board, and rules for 3 to 12 players — including the Dixit Party variant for large groups. Its cards mix freely with every expansion, so it works both as a first Dixit box and as an add-on for owners of the base game.

Heads-up: a separate Odyssey "expansion" kit was also released that adds only extra voting tokens for up to 12 players and no new cards. If you want the artwork, make sure you're buying the standalone box.

Travel is the central theme here, with nods to tales from around the world — Aladdin, Hansel & Gretel, the three wise monkeys. Also released as a standalone version in the US (Dixit 3: Journey), it's a strong pick for groups who love atmospheric, story-rich cards.

Themed around the roots of fantastical worlds and fable-like storytelling. A solid, versatile pick if your group enjoys classic fairy-tale imagery over more modern or abstract art styles.

Captures the emotion of waking dreams with noticeably more muted colors than earlier sets. It blends well with Quest and Odyssey thanks to a similarly dreamlike composition, even though the palette shifts.

Themed around nostalgia and childhood memories, this set uses a digital art medium rather than the hand-drawn style of earlier boxes — making it visually distinct while still mixing well with the rest of the collection. Frequently cited as a favorite for its warm, approachable imagery, and a strong choice for family groups with younger players.

Draws on an early 20th-century illumination style for a distinctive, almost stained-glass visual identity. Widely regarded as one of the standout expansions for players who want cards with real artistic flair beyond the typical Dixit dreamscape.

Explores contrast as a visual theme — bold color pairings that stand apart from earlier, softer expansions. Some players describe this set as harder to clue for precisely because the imagery is more striking and specific.

Released for Dixit's 10th anniversary, this set brings the series' illustrators together in one box, each contributing original works inspired by tales from around the world. If you only want to own one expansion, this is the closest thing to a "greatest hits" collection.

The newest card expansion, with vividly colored illustrations that hold up a fantastical mirror to modern, everyday life — incongruous details dropped into familiar scenes. Like every set before it, its 84 cards are fully compatible with the base game, Odyssey, and all previous expansions.

Check your favorite retailer for current availability — this one's a bit harder to find than the rest.
