Dixit is a creative storytelling party game where one player acts as storyteller, giving a clue about one of their beautiful, surreal artwork cards, while other players try to guess which card matches the clue. Players score points by finding the storyteller's card and having others guess their own submitted cards, creating a balance between being too obvious or too obscure.
