In Dixit: Journey, players take turns being the Storyteller who picks a card and gives a clue through a story or hint. Others secretly select cards from their hands that match the clue. All cards are shuffled and revealed, then players vote on which card belongs to the Storyteller. Points are awarded for correct guesses and for cards that receive votes. After several rounds, the player with the most points wins.
