Dixit is an exciting game of storytelling through imagination and clues. Artistically designed cards tell a different story for every individual and put creativity to the test! To start, each player receives six cards.  One player is selected as the storyteller for the round. As players tell stories, they earn points to move individually colored rabbit icons around a scoring track to the finish line. The scoring system is where all the subtlety of Dixit is expressed. The storyteller needs to be subtle enough in the clue he gives so at least one player (but not all) understand which is his card and vote for his card.  $34.99/8+
