Dixit is a very light game (weight 1/10). Strategic depth is moderate (3/10) — pleasant to learn, but not infinitely deep. It plays at a relaxed pace (3/10), with most turns having a clear obvious-best move. Players are constantly affecting each other's plans (interaction 8/10). Direct attacks are minimal (1/10) — the friction comes from contention, not aggression.
Of every game in our catalog, Dixit is closest to Codenames: Duet (88% profile match) but scores higher on theme (6 vs. 2).
Every score is on a 0–10 scale. The rubric and methodology behind these numbers is documented in the README.
