Why I like Dixit

Today was the culmination of a series of board game analyses we’ve been doing, as we presented our findings to the rest of the class.
Out of the games I analyzed, Dixit has to be my favourite, I’d like to take a minute to explain why.
I first came in contact with Dixit when I saw it played on an episode of Table Top and I instantly knew that I wanted it on my board game shelf.

They knew someone who had created a webpage (iirc) and that client wanted to create a game about their company.

Let’s get this started, now shall we?

…and what better way to start is there if not Unity?
