Game play progresses in order around the circle of participants. Each participant has a chance to by the &#8216;dealer&#8217; and choose a card from their hand and describe the picture in a figurative way. Other players listen to the description and choose a card from their own hand that they think resembles the\u00a0description of the dealers card. No two cards are identical. Cards are turned in to the dealer and then displayed together on the table. Each person votes for the card they think the dealer described. Points are scored based on guessing the dealer&#8217;s card or having other people guess the fake card you turned in. \u00a0As points are awarded the tokens are moved around the board. Incidentally, depending on your eye the tokens could be motorbikes or squirrels.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a fun game and very easy to learn with potential limited only to the descriptive talents of the players. The enjoyment of the game peaks as the number of players and small hours of the morning increase. We didn&#8217;t find the limit but I suspect at about 3 or 4 AM enjoyment would peak and discontinuous drop in enjoyment would begin.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.insidethe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/smIMG_20111015_231956.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1126]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1127\" title=\"DiXit\" src=\"http:\/\/www.insidethe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/smIMG_20111015_231956-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidethe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/smIMG_20111015_231956-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/insidethe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/smIMG_20111015_231956.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shared an enjoyable great-bad movie night with friends and played a new game afterwards.
