It is a spreader of positive energies and a bearer of goodness. Cards resemble works of art, they encourage fantasy and creation. Even the box that becomes the scoreboard is painted to look like a meadow of tiny wooden bunnies with a stream. It is a game with a story telling element, suitable for both family and a group of friends or acquaintances. The aim of the game is to use all your creativity as you try to describe the abstract pictures held in your hand.

Short rules of Dixit

1. One of the players is the narrator. Each round the narrator is a different person. After reviewing the 6 cards he has, he chooses one of them, which he describes with one word, several words, a sentence – in the hearing of all players, but without showing the card itself.
2. The other players choose one card from their 6 pictures that best matches the storyteller’s description. All players then hand their chosen cards to the narrator without showing them to the other players.
3. The storyteller shuffles the received cards together with his own card. Shuffled cards are placed face up in the middle of the table.
4. Each player must guess which of the face-up cards is the storyteller’s card.
5. If all players guessed correctly the storyteller’s card or none of them did it – the storyteller gets 0 points and all other players get 2 points each. Otherwise, the player who guessed the storyteller’s card and the storyteller himself get 3 points each.
6. Players get 1 point if other players voted for his card in the guess. The storyteller must describe the card he has chosen so cleverly that at least one player chooses it – but the fewer people who guess, the better! Each time, when describing the chosen card, the boundaries of clarity/ambiguity, concreteness/lyricality are balanced. Players have no idea how much creativity they have inside!
7. The first player to score 30 points wins. Or the player with the highest score if the entire deck of cards is finished.

All in all, DIXIT is a family and group game with simple rules. It is especially interesting to play at a party when there are both familiar and unfamiliar people in the company. The game will help you understand the thinking of others and try to find at least one ally in the company of players (the one who understands you best at a particular moment).
