Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This was the one game I picked up at GenCon this year, and it definitely deserves it's Game of the Year award. (Spiel Des Jahres, 2010)
If you want something to compare it to, I'd liken it most to Apples to Apples.
Reasons it deserves 5 stars:
- It's shockingly easy to learn; new players of most ages understand it instantly
- It's a beer-and-pretzels party game where winning and losing are pretty irrelevant
- Players can jump in or leave at will
- The production quality of the game is high
- It's not terribly expensive
- It can lead to very fun, punchy play
- You can instantly see where expansions could come in without changing the game
- It's really fun for adults and kids alike
The reasons I only gave it 4 stars:
- It takes 4 players to play the game, below that doesn't make sense
- There isn't a whole lot of strategy, so it doesn't have years of replay value
- If you are extremely literal, the game is hard to get your head around

Storytelling is the name of the game in Dixit, winner of both the French and Spanish board game of the year. On each turn, one player becomes the storyteller. This player makes up a sentence from one of the six interesting and abstract images in his hand. The other players select from amongst their six images the one that best matches the sentence made up by the storyteller. They each then give their chosen image to the storyteller who shuffles and lays the images down on the table. Everyone then votes on which image they think is the storyteller's. Points are scored (or not scored) based on vote tallies. The game ends when the last card has been drawn. The player who is the furthest on the scoring track wins Dixit!
Dixit makes a great party game and is perfect for family game night!
