Long Live the King Player Aid

The king is dying! Historically, in less civilized kingdoms, the reigning monarch had to worry about surviving first, and naming an heir second. However, in larger and more civilized kingdoms, power was often distributed among court nobles and the monarch was fairly stable. Deciding who would succeed the current monarch was still a matter of great importance, though. Often the members of the court would scheme and plan for years in anticipation of the king's demise, mainly for the purpose of attaining as much power as possible, but often aiming to rule the kingdom themselves!

Dixit Info

Dixit is a visually stunning game that rewards creativity, imagination and empathy. In Dixit, each player has a hand of beautifully illustrated cards that are evocative of fairy tales, surrealistic painting and dream imagery. Players take turns selecting a card from their hand and creating a “little story” that describes it fairly well. Each other player then selects a card from their hand that best matches what was said and slides it face down to the storyteller. All the cards are mixed up and then laid out face up for everyone to see.

Nanofictionary is a game about telling tiny stories. You might say it's like a miniature short story writing contest in the form of a card game. Even an extremely short narrative can tell a complete short story, provided it contains each of the four specific "plot devices", namely: a Setting, a Problem, at least one Character, and a Resolution.
