About the game
Jinx is a new Game in the Dixit family. Unlike the original game, the drawings are not realistic illustrations depicting scenes but more abstract images. During the game, 9 cards are placed face-up in a 3x3 square. The active player draws a locator map that will show them which of the nine cards they will play with. This location is kept secret. The player speaks, sings, or acts out something relating to this card (just as in "Dixit"). The other players go around and point to the card they think is correct. Only one player can point to each card. Once a player has chosen the right card, the turn stops. The player who finds the right card keeps it. Each card counts as a victory point. Players who were wrong give their cards to the active player. But if neither player gets the right card, the active player must return a previously won card.

Questions and answers
Dixit Jinx supports 3–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Dixit Jinx is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Dixit Jinx for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Dixit Jinx has a complexity rating of 1.2 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
