On New Years Eve I taught some American to play that. It was a bit tough to explain this game to them, especially about how to score. However, the interesting part is how they put together the &#8220;word&#8221;. One of them said an artist name, because the picture is related to the most famous art of this artist. This is a working way, as long as someone knows the artist, but not very fun. Because it turns the fun game to a knowledge contest.<\/p>\n<p>So I started to think about a question: what common patterns do ppl use in Dixit? Here is my list.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Overall feeling. &#8220;Cold&#8221;, &#8220;Dark&#8221;, &#8220;Lonely&#8221;, etc. Novice choices. Not very interesting.<\/li>\n<li>Trivial places. Small part in a messy picture, count of something, etc. Not very interesting either, usually used when can&#8217;t think of something better.<\/li>\n<li>Background. Build a story around one picture, then say something about your story. Needs powerful imagination!<\/li>\n<li>Twist. This is a really fun way. Basically it is your &#8220;very own, very special&#8221; understanding of a picture. For example a pink bell may make you think of a condom?<\/li>\n<li>Connection. A unicorn can be connected to fairy tale? fairy tale connects to Denmark? Multiple levels of connection could lead to unexpected result..<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What else pattern do you have?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dixit has been a really popular party game since we came to US.
