Product Description
Storytelling is the name of the game in Dixit, winner of both the French and Spanish board game of the year. On each turn, one player becomes the storyteller. This player makes up a sentence from one of the six interesting and abstract images in his hand. The other players select from amongst their six images the one that best matches the sentence made up by the storyteller. They each then give their chosen image to the storyteller who shuffles and lays the images down on the table. Everyone then votes on which image they think is the storyteller's. Points are scored (or not scored) based on vote tallies. The game ends when the last card has been drawn. The player who is the furthest on the scoring track wins Dixit!
Dixit makes a great party game and is perfect for family game night!

 fun for the family May 7, 2010

Its a fun family game that works well with 4-6 players.
It becomes more fun as you know people and their sense of humor and styles.
For example - I put out the card that shows a lost babys cradle (presumably with the baby still in it) and as my story line I said "Dinner Time".
My family all picked thick card (giving me a 0) LOL
All you need is a ground rule that the story line you select must be known by all. For example, you can't make a reference to a TV show some haven't seen, or book some haven't read.
(there is nothing to prevent this, but w ethink it lessens teh fun, as players are excluded)
Great twist on clue-giving games January 21, 2010

This is simply a great game. The play is incredibly easy to learn and there is almost no setup time. All players get a few cards and they take turns giving clues. On your turn, you give a clue to one of your cards that is neither too specific nor too vague. Once you give a clue, the other players pick a card from their hand that they think most closely fits your clue. You take all the cards, shuffle them up, and then lay them face down on the table. A player gets points whenever someone picks their card. The only exception is if you are the clue-giver and everyone picks your card, in which case you get zero points. That's why you want your clue to be good, but not perfect. The fun and the difficulty lie in figuring out the perfect clue for each card and that will change every time you play. Some kind of timing device would be useful, though there's not one included in the game.
Last note, the current Amazon price for this game is $75 from an external site. Though it is a great game, that's way too much to pay. I bought it from Amazon a few months ago at 1/3 that price. It may be high priced because it's sold out. If that's the case, let's hope the game gets a reprinting because it would be a shame if more people weren't able to play.

This is a wonderful game that I've enjoyed playing with many groups of people. And the artwork is absolutely beautiful. I hope they put out an expansion.

I played Dixit for the first time this month at a board game meetup. It has a deck of picture cards with surreal images on them and a rather odd game board with bunny playing pieces. The bunnies' movement around the board serves as a way of keeping track of the players' scores. Up to 6 players take turns playing the storyteller. On your turn you choose a picture card from your hand and state a word or phrase that describes some aspect of it. Each player then chooses one of their picture cards that comes close to your descriptive phrase. All pictures are shown face up, and every player has to vote on which card is the storyteller's. Don't be too cryptic or too obvious when you think of your descriptive phrase. You only get points if your able to fool some of the other players but not all of them.
It's a very good game and a lot of fun to play. You can catch on to it quickly. It was a good challenge to my intellect trying think of just the right way to describe the images. Age 8 and up can play Dixit. It would be great for stretching little minds and getting them to think abstractly. It could even improve a child's vocabulary given enough time playing it with adults.
