Amber Holt | Week 2
3 Act Structure
- Act 1 – This was when we were first getting familiar with the game. It took a few turns to really understand what types of clues were the most beneficial to give and earn points, since the point system is set up kind of strangely. Once everyone had been the active player one time is when I think the game transitioned into act 2 because everyone started to know what they were doing and how to strategize.
- Act 2 – This is when it sort of started to get a little competitive (as competitive as this game can even get). People were starting to think of really good clues for their cards and they were excited to get to their turn to share them. The majority of the gameplay was spent in this act.
- Act 3 – This was when we started to realize who was going to win the game. Whoever was closest to the end of the points scale at the time, it was inevitable that they would win because most players earned points every round. It was very evident at this point that Reese and I were very behind and would not win (we were extremely far back).
Bonus
- Was it fun? DiXit was fun. I thought it was a really unique game and I could see myself really getting into it with a funny group of friends.
- What was the interaction with the other players? The interaction with the other players involved collecting their cards and all agreeing to select a card that best matched the action player’s clue.
- How long did it take to learn? It didn’t take very long to learn at all. The directions were really clear and easy to understand.
- Would you play again? I would play DiXit again. Like I said, it’s a pretty unique game as opposed to other games that I have played so I think it would be nice to play every once in a while, but I wouldn’t say that it’s a game that I would want to play all the time.
