Dixit Kids

My 5-year-old actually asks to play this, which never happens with board games. The cooperative twist means nobody loses and melts down, and the artwork on the cards is genuinely lovely to look at. We've played it four nights in a row now.

The guessing rounds are so clever — you describe your card without saying the word, and watching my 6-year-old come up with clues is hilarious. We played four rounds the first night and everyone actually helped each other instead of sulking about losing. Big win for family game night.

The co-op twist is what sold me — my 5-year-old actually asks to play again because nobody loses, you just try to invite more guests to the rabbit's party together. Artwork is gorgeous too, we've spent as much time just looking at the cards as playing.
