Here we take a closer look at Dixit.
Dixit is a captivating and imaginative storytelling game that encourages creativity and interpretation. It is a game of beautifully illustrated cards, where players take turns being the storyteller. The storyteller selects a card from their hand and gives a clue or phrase that describes it, without revealing the card itself. The other players then select a card from their own hand that best matches the clue given by the storyteller.
All the chosen cards are shuffled and revealed, and players must guess which card belongs to the storyteller. The trick is to provide a clue that is neither too obvious nor too obscure, as points are awarded based on how many players guess correctly. The game’s artwork is dreamlike and surreal, leaving ample room for interpretation and sparking imaginative storytelling.
Dixit is a game that transcends language barriers and age groups, making it suitable for both family gatherings and social gatherings with friends. It encourages players to think creatively, express themselves, and discover unique connections between images and ideas. With its beautiful cards and open-ended gameplay, Dixit offers a memorable and enjoyable experience for those who appreciate art, storytelling, and the power of imagination.
Dixit from Asmodee is available now priced around £29.99 and is aimed at ages 8 and up for 3 to 8 players and an average game takes around 30 minutes.
