Dixit comes with a bunch of cards, guessing tokens, and board. In the game, a player looks at a card and comes up with a word or phrase that describes that card. The other player then turn in a card from their hand that also matches that description.
Players get points based on how many people guess the correct card and if anyone chose their card instead. On version of the game that I played, the board had the scoring rules written on the board so that they were easy to remember.
I can definitely see this game being a family game and also one that you can play with younger children because there's no reading involved. The replay-ability of the game is fairly low because you can only come up with so many descriptions for the cards, especially after you play a few times in a row. But I think the simplicity of the game makes up for that.
Overall, I would recommend this game as a short game to play between longer games or if you don't have a lot of time. I also think this game would be great for teaching younger children to use their imagination and create stories out of pictures.
