Dixit can be found in a variety of languages, including English, French, Polish, Arabic, and Chinese. Everything you need to play is included in the box. Before playing, lay the board out on the table. All players set their colored markers on the starting position on the board. Since voting is based on the number of players, each player selects only the number of voting tokens needed.

After shuffling the deck, deal 6 cards face-down to each player. The player who begins the round is the active player. The active player chooses a card to describe to the group, and the description can be any of the following:. After the active player describes their card, all other players choose a card in their hand matching the description as closely as possible.

Receiving these cards face-down and shuffling the original card into the mix, the active player will randomly reveal each card by placing them alongside the board by the numbers Everyone except the active player will then use one of their voting tokens to select the original card they think is.

Instead, when set-up is complete, have all players pick up their hands and look at their image cards at the same time. The first player who is able to come up with a sentence for an image card will go first.

You have to speak up to claim this right, so be quick if you have a good sentence in mind! Whoever spoke up first is storyteller for this turn. They say the sentence they have decided upon out loud to the table, and place their image card face-down in front of them. A sentence is a loose term in Dixit. You could create a sentence of your own, or reference a popular quote that you think fits the image somehow.

The description could be obvious, like something pertaining to a visible feature on the image, but you can get as abstract as you like. Be careful not to get so abstract nobody can guess your card, though!

At this point, every other player will choose an image card from their hand to also place face-down in front of the storyteller. This is a chance for some trickery. The storyteller waits for everyone else to put an image card face-down in front of them.

Once this is done, they shuffle these image cards and place them down one at a time in front of them — now face-up. The storyteller should do this so the cards form a line with their images facing the other players, so everyone can easily see the cards. Think you know which image card belongs to the storyteller? Place the number token that corresponds with that image card face-down in front of you to make your guess.

When everyone has put down a voting token, flip them all face-up. Place the voting tokens on the image cards they voted on to count more easily. Everyone else walks away from the round with 2 points to show for their efforts.

If nobody guesses the image, the same result occurs! No points for the storyteller for being too abstract or vague and 2 points for the rest of the table. In all other cases, where some but not all players have guessed correctly, the storyteller nets 3 points for each vote on their image card.
