Dixit is a game I had wanted to play for a while and was
very glad that it made the table. In the
game, each player has 6 cards. One
player starts and says or does something in relation to their card. All other players then play a card, face
down, that others might think relates to what the person said.
They are mixed up and everyone but the giver votes on the
card they think was the giver’s card. The
giver gets three points if at least one, but not all players guess their card
and non if everyone or nobody guesses it.
All other players get 2 points if they choose the right card
and 1 point for everyone that chose their card.
The cards are beautiful and can be thought of in tons of
ways depending on the person, their mood, influences, and company at the
table. This leads to much variation on
the same cards.
In our game, Paul jumped out to a small lead, while Cindy
ate some grass in the back. Once we made
the turn, Paul really kicked it into gear ended up smoking us all in the end.
Final Score:
Paul – 31
Simo & Dani - 22
Stanley – 17
Kelly – 16
Doug – 14
Cindy – 14
Final Thoughts:
Once we played a round and people realized how fun it was
going to be, things really picked up.
After Castle Panic opened well, Dixit seemed to hit it out of the park
and people laughed allot from either phrases given or results of votes.
Paul was on fire in this game. He was getting his three every time as the
giver and often times getting three, four, or five points when he was not the
giver. His bunny sprinted while ours
loped a bit.
I had a ton of fun with this one and hope to play it allot
more in the weeks and months to come.
