Dixit

只言片语

Say something about a picture. Too plain or too obscure and you score nothing.

The goal

Score points by giving and guessing clues; the first to 30 wins.

1Everyone holds 6 picture cards. As storyteller, choose one from your hand, say a word, a sentence or hum a tune for it, and lay it face down.
2Each other player picks the card from their hand that best fits and gives it face down to the storyteller, who shuffles them all and lays them out face up.
3Everyone but the storyteller votes in secret for the card they think is the storyteller's. You can't vote for your own.
4Scoring: if everybody or nobody found it, the storyteller scores 0 and everyone else 2. Otherwise the storyteller and those who found it score 3 each. Each other player also scores 1 for every vote their own card drew.
5Draw back up to 6 and pass the storyteller on.

The game ends when someone reaches 30 points or the deck runs out; the highest score wins.

The best clue is one that only some of the table will get.
When following, play a card that could pass for the storyteller's; fooled votes score too.
