From Libellud, we’ll have another Dixit game this year: Dixit Odyssey, schedule for release in June. There is no specifics on new rules yet, but apparently the game will be compatible with the original Dixit and include rules for playing with up to twelve players. The art preview at Asmodee promises that the game will be just as beautiful.
