This is our descriptions of Dixit Cards. Dixit is the incredibly popular, and quite frankly brilliant, party game that uses the submit and judge mechanic in a way you have never seen done before. It relies on your storytelling ability and ability to read the other players in the game. Dixit is a popular storytelling board game that includes eighty colourful and imaginative picture cards. In this post I'm looking at how you can use those cards in some interesting ways. How to play I have often played Dixit with a class as a short break in a lesson, for early finishers after a test. Dixit is the classic, simple, lighthearted game of storytelling and guesswork where your imagination unlocks the tale. Winner of the prestigious Spiel des Jahres award, Dixit invites you to use the gorgeous, imaginative artwork on the cards. Players score 1 point for every vote for their own card. The game ends when the deck is empty or if a player scores 30 points. In either case, the player with the most points wins the game. The base game and all expansions have 84 cards each.

Dixit (Latin: dixit, Latin pronunciation: [ˈdiːksitə], 'he/she/it said'), is a French card game created by Jean-Louis Roubira, illustrated by Marie Cardouat, and published by Libellud. Using a deck of cards illustrated with dreamlike images, players select cards that match a title suggested by the 'storyteller', and attempt to guess which card the 'storyteller' selected. The game was introduced in 2008. Dixit won the 2010 Spiel des Jahres award.^[1]

The game's title is the Latin word for 'he/she/it said'.

Gameplay[edit]

Each player starts the game with six random cards. Players then take turns being the storyteller. The player whose turn it is to be storyteller looks at the six images in his or her hand. From one of these, he or she makes up a sentence or phrase that might describe it and says it out loud (without showing the card to the other players).

Each other player then selects from among their own six cards the one that best matches the sentence given by the storyteller. Then, each player gives their selected card to the storyteller, without showing it to the others. The storyteller shuffles his or her chosen card with the cards received from the other players, and all cards are then dealt face up. The players (except for the storyteller) then secretly guess which picture was the storyteller's, using numbered voting chips.

Scoring[edit]

The original rules were revised after publication.^[2]

If all players find the storyteller's card

• Storyteller: 0 points
• Other players: 2 points

If no players find the storyteller's card

• Storyteller: 0 points
• Other players: 2 points (+1 bonus point per vote for his/her card)

  • In the original rules, players who did not find the storyteller's card were ineligible for bonus points. In the revised rules, the other players receive +1 bonus point per vote for his/her card.

Dixit Cards Three

In the original rules, the winner is the first player to reach 30 points. In the revised rules, the winner is the player with the most points when the last card is drawn.
