Dixit (Danish)

Dixit is a great game for creative and inventive players.

The focal point of Dixit is the 84 unique cards with beautiful and imaginative illustrations.

Each player sits with 6 cards in their hand and takes turns being the ‘storyteller’. The storyteller chooses a card from their hand and says a sentence based on the illustration on the chosen card. There are no rules for what can be said, only your imagination sets the limit. Anything is allowed.
Then the other players also choose a card from their hand that matches what the storyteller has said. The chosen cards are mixed with the storyteller’s card and placed face up in the middle of the table.

All players, except the teller, must now guess which card is the teller’s. Points are awarded as follows:

• If no one OR everyone guesses the correct card, the storyteller gets 0 points and all other players get 2 points.
• If the above is not the case, the storyteller and all players who voted on the narrator’s card receive 3 points.
• All players get 1 point for each vote they get on their card.

It may sound more complicated than it really is, but the idea is simple: The narrator must be neither too clear nor too vague in his descriptions of the chosen card, and that is precisely where the game becomes really interesting.

Dixit has won a number of awards and is easy to learn. The game is also ideal for use in a Danish lesson about fairy tales or a lesson that focuses on creativity.
