Dixit has not yet been sold and that's always a little hot for me. I play Dixit for over three years very much, in my family, it is very popular. Christmas I have to bring it, and I see myself in three other years still excited every few weeks a game of Dixit!

Original Review:
The last game of the year, "Dominion", is a milestone in gaming history, like much of his time as it once was The Settlers of Catan. There had, of course, very hard to keep up because this year the successor.
And so it is very gratifying that the jury from the game of the year is a new way, and distinguishes a communicative party game with the Pöpel, Dixit was from the beginning my personal favorite.
But what Dixit for a game?
Most will know Nobody is Perfect. Who knows this knows basically like Dixit works, only that this time is not about concepts or events, but quaint, naive-abstract graphics. Fundamentally it is important to be creative and to entice other on his trail.
Each player is dealt 5 large-format cards on hand. On these maps picturesque, sometimes a bit naive drawings can be seen. This can, for example, an anchor in a desert be a slide mounted on the take numbers planet, a cat like a seer stands in front of a glass ball in a fish swims, a light bulb in a little girl standing with a glowing candle, a pharmacist, a medieval one laboratory, and so on and immediately. In total there are 84 of these cards, there are now already the first expansion with 84 new motifs.
Now just beginning to anybody. This person lays a card face down in front of him and shall deliver a comment. This can be simple word, a whole sentence, a movie quote, a song title, or simply an onomatopoeia such as "Brrrrrr".
Now select all other players from one of their hole cards that could fit on this quote and of which he thinks that the others could keep this card for the card the starting player.
Then these cards are shuffled and placed face up and face down, each player must tap the ones it deems necessary to the starting player.
The exciting thing is now scoring system because here shines Dixit. If the first player selected a card or to obvious term to obviously selected so that it can only be his card and select any player this card, so each player receives two points, except for the first player. The same is the case if no one chooses the card the starting player. Otherwise the first player gets three points for each who has typed on his card, each of the taps on the right card also gets three points and if anyone is fooled else on a map, get the of this card comes for a point. Then everyone draws back a new card and who first has the next idea, the new starting player.
The game starts at often quite tough, especially when you compare it with people playing do not know it. You do not really know what to say, a not fall to the images and a well sometime then makes time to get started. However, you can get very quickly into the game and very soon all argue about who is allowed to specify the next card. Especially when the players know a little among themselves, insider come in the game more and more into play, give each game in each round their very own indivduellen character. So you can play despite the provisions of the cards give a very personal touch and make quite a lot from the game. The imagination is so very excited that it is not a problem that involves the game only 84 cards, because one very soon to each card come several things.
Dixit is therefore an absolutely recommendable game for everyone. It's like family game just as suitable as a party game and also strategists and experienced players will enjoy again and again one lap Dixit between. The game supports and encourages creativity and even the people, are by themselves say that this area is not their strength very soon about yourself amazed. A worthy winner =)
