Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dixit (Cover Art May Vary) (Toy)
I purchased this game after seeing Will Wheaton's show TableTop on the Internet.
Last night I brought it to a gathering of adults who had never seen a game like it, and were initially put off. After some cajoling, they stepped up and tried it. I won the first game, but everyone else wanted to play it again, and the second time a gentleman won who had been the toughest to convince to play. The comments I received were like, "This is the most unusual game I've ever played," and, "I'm engaging parts of my brain that I never use!" It was a hit and a half, so if you're reading this you need to get this game. Best with four, five, or six players. The more players, the greater the experience. Also keep one person in charge of dealing the cards, shuffling and revealing the selections, basically running the game. I filled this role last night since I owned the game. Also, find something to use for an active player token. It will cut down on some confusion.

Could you please explain this game in simple form so I can explain it to the kiddos who are 6 and 8?

Ms. Carrie S. Rostollan says:
Each player has a hand of cards with pretty and strange pictures. One person each round is the storyteller, who plays a card facedown and describes it somehow. Each other player chooses a card from their hqnd that they think matches the storyteller's card. All played cards are s huffed and then revealed. All players except the storyteller now try to guess which card the storyteller played. Points are awarded based on a simple formula. You must be creative and specific enough, but neither too specific nor too vague. Creative communication and subtle insight are the keys to victory.
