Dixit*
Dixit is a beautifully imaginative and simple card game that emphasizes creativity and interpretation. Each turn, a player becomes the storyteller, selecting a card from their hand and giving a sentence or phrase inspired by the card’s image. The other players then choose cards from their hands that they feel best match the storyteller's sentence.
Gameplay Overview
- Storytelling: The storyteller picks a card and describes it with a phrase or sentence.
