Dixit (Latin: dixit, Latin pronunciation: [ˈdiːksit], "he/she/it said"), is a French board game created by Jean-Louis Roubira [fr], illustrated by Marie Cardouat, and published by Libellud [fr].

[1] Each player is dealt six cards to start the game from a shuffled deck, which becomes the draw pile.

[3] The storyteller's goal is to provide a description that is ambiguous enough that not all other players will recognize the card, yet relevant enough that some will.

After voting and scoring are complete for the turn, the cards in the tableau are moved to a discard pile, face-up.

The original published versions were limited to six players by providing six wooden rabbit markers and thirty-six voting tokens (six color-coordinated sets, each numbered one to six).

[8] The 2021 refreshed edition accommodates up to eight players, with eight voting dials, eight wooden rabbit markers, and one game board.

[9] An updated version, named Dixit World, was announced in 2018 for iOS and Android.

[11] Multiple versions of the game have been published, with minor updates to the equipment included with the original edition in 2012 and again in 2021.

Odyssey has slightly revised rules for games with a larger number of players.

Play then proceeds according to the regular rules, with all players, including the storyteller, selecting an image card that best matches the phrase; the selected image cards are shuffled and placed face-up in a tableau.

Dixit Jinx is a spin-off with a similar gameplay mechanic of describing cards in a tableau, published in 2012.

The game ends when a 3×3 square tableau can no longer be made from the remaining image cards in the draw pile.

Stella – Dixit Universe is a related game designed by Gérald Cattiaux and Jean-Louis Roubira, with artwork by Jérôme Pélissier, first published in October 2021.

[33] Stella has a similar illustrated 84-card deck that is compatible with Dixit, but the gameplay is different, facilitated by the following equipment: To start, the image deck is shuffled and 15 cards are dealt face-up to form a tableau of 3 rows and 5 columns next to the game board.

The Personal Slate includes a reproduction of the game board, which provides a consistent orientation for all players.

[34] The scout starts the matching phase of the game by pointing to one of the cards in the tableau which they had selected.

[34] To set up the next round, the Word Card that was used is returned to the box, the First Scout Pawn is passed clockwise, and the active round token is flipped over, which indicates which row of image cards in the tableau should be replaced.

[35] BGL described it as a card game that "allows creativity and imagination to run riot",[36] while Shut Up & Sit Down referred to it as "one of those very special game ideas that makes the most of the human brain while also keeping its rules to a minimum".

[4] Father Geek noted that Dixit is "one of those rare games that can be played with a mixed age and skill group with little to no difficulty".

[39] Dixit was featured in a 2012 episode of TableTop, a web video series hosted by Wil Wheaton and broadcast on Felicia Day's YouTube channel Geek & Sundry.
