Dixit
One player is the storyteller for the turn and looks at the images on the 6 cards in her hand. From one of these, she makes up a sentence and says it out loud (without showing the card to the other players). Each other player selects the card in their hands which best matches the sentence and gives the selected card to the storyteller, without showing it to the others.

This really gives the creative side of your brain a heavy workout! The cards are beautifully detailed, intricate, and open to many interpretations. It's incredible when you've had a card in your hand for several turns without any idea of how you could play it, only to see it become a perfect fit for another player's turn. Likewise when you see another player interpret cards in a different way to you. It requires a certain amount of energy or spark, but I'm yet to play this with a group that hasn't enjoyed it. Sometimes it can take a while for the active player to take their turn, and if this occurs frequently we tend to allow other players to step in and take their turn instead, which keeps the game flowing and doesn't affect the game balance.

Great for parties but clearly you can see that the expansions are expensive because that's where they get their money from, odyssey is amazing for multiple players but the cards are just very simple, it REQUIRES expansions which I find bad.

210620 Now that my daughter is old enough to game a bit, but doesn't care to play competitive games, Dixit is getting a lot of plays around the house. No points, but beautiful cards are their own reward.. 150909 With a few years away from a regular playing group, I'm just not feeling the desire to play Dixit that much. I still love the game, but its not tugging at me. 121231 Nah, more players isn't better. I think 5 or 6 is about the sweet spot. The art for 1 and 2 are great. Odyssey (3) was not so good but Journey (4, blue box) is very good - and it also makes the Odyssey cards not stand out nearly so badly as it did before. 100303 beautiful cards and plenty of fun...wish there were more players possible.
