We need these 2 games!
It shouldn't be too complicated to add them...
They are two simple and fast games

Not possible for Dixit actually.
I wanted to develop it with a friend but the publisher did not allow the license.
Take care,

As much as I'd love to see it on here, I wonder if the publisher had their hands tied because of the artist contracts? It wouldn't be right to add it and not have some payment for the artists involved which could have been a real pain to negotiate. On the plus side, you didn't have to digitally capture all those cards, so maybe that is a positive?

Sigh, it would have been nice to play in lockdown and probably a relative simple game to implement - have you considered maybe trying Apples To Apples? It's similar, and could maybe be done with public domain art?

I understood that the true reason behind that refusal is that Asmodee Digital is planning to release its own digital adaptation on a dedicated application, as they already did for Mysterium.

Yikes - you can see the money incentive as each player will need to buy the app, but that feels like a barrier in all honesty, especially since online boardgaming is largely a fall back position for many gamers. I only want to play Dixit online as I can't get together with my family, but most of the time if I can't play it in person I'll sooner be playing something else. There are so many games where an app makes so much less sense than licensing them for an online platform, but I guess Asmodee have a different priority

How about shadows - Amsterdam, I read that it is dixit-like game

Ok I see this is asmondee as well. There is also game called Mysterium, published by portal games, which is similar to
Dixit but cooperative
