Russian Board Game Imaginarium Dixit

Great game

I ordered this game for Christmas as a gift for the kids.I placed the order back in November so I could buy it in time.My wife and I were waiting to give the game to the kids so we could play with the whole family.Today we unpacked the game, and it turned out to be of very poor quality.And it looks like a fake!The first thing that caught my eye was that the inner box where the cards are placed is not from this game and the cards do not fit in there.The game box is dented.Lots of scuffs and bends.The cards with pictures look like they were printed on a cheap printer. And the original cards do not have numbers under the card digit.The pawns for the game (elephants with wings) are made of some kind of foam rubber. Very poor quality. In the original game, the pawns are made of transparent plastic.I am attaching photos to my comment.We are very upset!

You can play this game every evening and enjoy it. Wish to have more playing cards in it.

"Imaginarium" is sold on the ru-net for about $20. It is based on a French game "Dixit" that is on amazon for half this price. The only reason Imaginarium is not available from the actual gamemakers outside the ru-net is that it's too close to Dixit to be sold without treading on thorny copyright issues. That said, Imaginarium has more interesting (and often darker/more bizarre) artwork, so it might be more fun to play. But you are paying one hell of a mark-up here.

We love this game and I wanted to buy another as a gift. But the price is crazy high for a board game, especially with such a close competitor as Dixit it.
