Dixit Kids Review
Dixit Kids by Asmodee is a three to six player co-op game that has you trying to deliver invites to a tea party to a bunch of emotional bunnies. >> [music] >> Hello and welcome to Tantrum House Studio Awesome. I'm Katie and in this review video I'm going to be talking about Asmodee Kids version of Dixit Kids, um, which has some similarities and some differences to the original game of Dixit.
Dixit Kids adorable game board is built right into the box. There will be two bunnies in each burrow with doors showing the emotion of the two bunnies inside. The main player, acting as the head post bunny, is going to choose which bunny to deliver a letter to first. The main player dedicates a card from their hand that represents the bunny the letter is going to.
Each other player will try to dedicate a card to match with the other bunny in the burrow. The cards are shuffled face down and then are going to be played face up. Everyone except the main player will try to guess what the head mail bunny's card was. When they think that they know it, each player will raise a finger.
On the count of three, everyone will point to the card they think is correct. If the majority [clears throat] of players guess the correct card, the bunnies are invited and will be seated at the tea party table. If the guesses were mostly wrong, the letter did not get delivered. Either way, play continues on with a new head mail bunny.
Players will have just one week to try to get out as many bunny invitations as they can. At the end of that week, you count up the number of bunnies seated at the tea party, and then you look at how well you did overall. So, in this game, there's a ton of stuff to enjoy. Everything is super cute, just adorable art, um adorable game pieces, adorable um board.
It's very kinetic, and my children loved um putting the little doors on, opening the little doors, pulling little bunnies out, and sitting them at their little seats. Um it's just as much a part of this game as the actual gameplay itself. I think it adds so much to the game. Um this game is co-op, so if your young children are struggling to figure out things on their own, this could actually be a good game for them because you're playing together, so you're winning together, and you're losing together, and you celebrate that.
But, they're are um working a little more independently because they are choosing their cards on their own, and then they are picking what they think um the head mail bunny's card is alone as well. So, it could help teach a little bit of independent play. This game is for players that are about six and up, and I would say that my 3-year-old did struggle with the concept of how this all works and what cards to pick, but she enjoyed playing along.
Um uh my 6- and 7-year-old thinks it's a lot of fun, and we had a good time. I would say overall it's a the estimate of a 25-minute game is about accurate. Um you could have a maybe your first game might be a little bit longer as you um kind of figure out how to lay the cards down and which ones to choose, but as the kids get more comfortable with choosing the cards, it becomes a little faster as it goes along.
The the whole game is just well-designed. Um like I said, beautiful art, beautiful components. Um the learning a little bit of independence in the gameplay is a lot of fun. Um I think it's from from the original Dixit where you're trying to you're playing it separately and not on the same teams to pulling it into a co-op and giving kids something to look at, a little a little door with the emotion of you know, what the bunny is thinking or feeling or reacting um is an important thing for kids to be able to enjoy this game because they're getting to look at that and explore that and they're getting to match that emotional um the whatever the emotional thing is there with what they see on their cards.
And for me, it's really fun to see what children are matching up because they don't always have a card that expresses the right emotional um thing. So, they're sometimes choosing something like this color reminded them of that and I find that very interesting cuz they they might have chosen something where in the scene there's not a lot of anger, but they needed to try to match a card that had anger and they're choosing something that had a lot of red in it um or a lot of lines that um that had jagged edges.
And so, it sort of fit the feel even if the scene itself wasn't depicting anger. And I think that's really interesting, and I think probably a good learning thing for children to start connecting these emotional ties to each other. And overall, I think this game is a lot of fun. My kids ask to play it fairly often and have really enjoyed the theme and the card art and and playing together as a family.
So, if this sounds interesting to you, definitely go check out Dixit Kids by Asmodee Kids. It has been a lot of fun for our family. >> [music]
