Dixit Jinx

Fractals - Middle left is correct

Dixit, the game on images and clue words now featuring abstract images! 71 picture cards show geometrical or abstract patterns and images on both sides! In relation to the number of players up to 30 picture cards are removed from the game and then 9 cards from the remaining stack are laid out in 3x3 grid. The starting player is the first game master and draws the the top position card from the stack and with this card - the arrow on the card must from the game master to the grid - determines the current image card, the one marked red on the position card. Then he gives a clue for this card, he can talk, sing, gesture or make a noise. According to this clue all players now choose a card and put their index finger on it as fast as they can. If two players choose the same card the one stays who calls “No go” first.  As soon as the correct card has been touched the game master stops the round. If you chose the correct card you get the card; the game master gets all cards that were chosen before the correct one and all other players take one card of their choice out of the game. The grid is filled again and the next player in turn is game master. If the correct card is not chosen, all selected cards and the target card are removed from the grid. If there are not enough cards left to fill the grid you win with most cards.

As in Dixit the allure and the difficulty of the game are in the clue selection - too obviously is a disadvantage for the active player; here you are often reduced to the smallest common factor, for instance “circle”, in order to score. Scoring itself is efficient and interesting.
