Dixit is a storytelling and guessing game for 3 to 8 players (current edition). You give a clue about one of your dreamlike picture cards, and the others try to work out which card was yours. It suits families and friend groups who enjoy imagination more than cut-throat competition, and it works across ages and languages because the cards have no words. In India, Funskool imports and sells the current edition for about ₹3,700-4,000.
Is Dixit right for your table?
A good pick for
- Tables with a mix of languages, since clues can be in any language
- Families where older kids, parents and grandparents all want to play together
- Groups who enjoy finding out how each other's minds work
- A thoughtful gift for someone creative
Skip it if
- Your group freezes up when asked to be creative on the spot
- You want a strategy game with lots of tactical decisions
- You usually play with only two people, since it needs at least three
How Dixit plays
Everyone gets six large picture cards. Each turn, one player is the storyteller. The storyteller secretly picks one of their cards and gives a clue about it. The clue can be a word, a phrase, a line from a song, a sound or even a mime.
Every other player then picks the card from their own hand that best fits the clue and hands it face-down to the storyteller. The storyteller shuffles all the chosen cards together with their own and lays them out face-up.
Everyone except the storyteller then secretly votes for the card they think is the storyteller's. You can't vote for your own card.
Scoring is what makes the game work. If some players find the storyteller's card but not all of them, the storyteller and those players score 3 points each. If everyone finds it, or nobody does, the storyteller scores nothing and everyone else scores 2. Players also get 1 point for each vote their own card attracts. So the best clues are neither too obvious nor too vague.
Everyone draws back up to a full hand and the next player becomes storyteller. The game ends when someone reaches 30 points. With three players, everyone holds seven cards and the two players who aren't storyteller put in two cards each.
Takes about 5 minutes to teach. The cards have no text at all. Clues can be given in any language, whether Hindi, English, Tamil or a mix, as long as everyone at the table understands them. Only the rulebook needs reading.
Buying Dixit in India
Dixit is not printed in India. Funskool (India) Ltd. imports the current Libellud/Asmodee edition (country of origin China) and markets it here. Toycra lists it at ₹3,999, and Funcorp shows ₹3,749 after the September 2025 GST cut. Specialist importers such as Board Games India and Boardway list it at ₹3,699-4,000, but both were out of stock on 4 October 2026. A genuine copy costs about ₹3,700-4,000, so a much cheaper set is a warning sign.
Libellud refreshed the base game in 2021. It now plays 3-8 players and comes with 84 cards, 8 wooden rabbits, 8 voting dials and a board with a scoring track. Some stores still describe the older box, which plays 3-6. Libellud has released many expansions, each a new set of 84 cards (including Odyssey, Journey, Daydreams, Memories, Revelations and Harmonies), plus a standalone Dixit Disney Edition. Amazon.in search results show Odyssey, Journey, Memories, Harmonies, Revelations and the Disney Edition. Board Games India lists Odyssey, Daydreams, Revelations (on demand) and the Disney Edition.
How to make sure you get a genuine copy
Clone risk: High- A genuine box carries the Libellud logo (usually with Asmodee), and India-imported stock names Funskool (India) Ltd. as importer. Listings under unrelated brand names, such as a 'Tickles Dixit' on Amazon.in, are not from Libellud.
- Check the price. Genuine Dixit cost ₹3,699-4,000 at Indian stores on 4 October 2026. A 'Dixit' at ₹1,000-1,500, especially one showing an inflated MRP with 60% or more off, is a strong warning sign.
- Check the contents. The current edition has 84 cards, 8 wooden rabbits, 8 voting dials and a scoring board, and the listing should say the same. Fewer cards, missing rabbits or no publisher name suggest a copy.
- Check the cards. Genuine Dixit cards are noticeably larger than playing cards and finely printed, so small, blurry or dull cards point to an unofficial print.
- Prefer Funskool-imported stock, established specialist stores, or Amazon.in listings that name Libellud or Asmodee as the brand, and check the seller name.
Genuine Dixit costs ₹3,700-4,000 in India, and unbranded 'Dixit' sets sell on marketplaces and small web stores for around ₹1,100. At least one Amazon.in listing puts a different brand name on a 'Dixit' storytelling game. The origin of these cheaper sets could not be verified, so the safest choice is a listing that clearly names Libellud and, for India-imported stock, Funskool.

Questions people ask about Dixit
Is Dixit available in India?
Yes. Funskool imports and sells the current edition, and specialist stores such as Board Games India and Boardway also list it, though their stock comes and goes. Expect to pay about ₹3,700-4,000 for a genuine copy.
Can Dixit be played in Hindi?
Yes. The cards have pictures only and no text, so clues can be in Hindi, English or any language your group shares. Only the rulebook needs reading.
Can 2 people play Dixit?
No. The official rules need at least 3 players. The current edition plays 3 to 8 and older boxes play 3 to 6. With three players, everyone holds seven cards and the two guessers each put in two cards.
Is Dixit good for kids?
Libellud rates it for ages 8 and up. The rules are simple; the harder part is learning to give clues that are neither too obvious nor too vague, which comes with a few rounds. Funskool's Indian listings show a higher age label (14+) than Libellud's 8+.
