Week 4: Dixit

This week’s game I’m going to introduce is “Dixit”.

 

The word “dixit” is “speak” in Latin, so the game is about “speaking”.

There are a pile of cards with pictures with fantastic combination of various elements, somewhat like works in post-modern art.

All players draw 6 cards and decide the order to be the “storyteller” by turns.

The storyteller chooses one of his cards and tells a “story”.

The story may be a word, words, a sentence, a story, or whatever he wants.

Then the other players choose the most corresponding card from their own cards.

The storyteller collects the cards from all players, shuffles them, and reveals them.

The other players must and guess which card is the storyteller’s and then point them simultaneously.

 

If all the other players or no players find the correct card, all players except the storyteller get 2 points because his story is too easy or too hard to understand.

Otherwise, the storyteller and all players find the correct card get 3 points.

Besides, if your own card fools other players, you get 1 point for 1 player.
