Start for freeWhat to Expect
In Stella, 3 to 6 players interpret Dixit cards based on a common clue word each round. Players secretly select cards that match the clue on personal erasable slates. Scoring comes from matching choices with others, while unique selections risk losing points. After four rounds, the player with the highest total wins. The game blends deduction, push your luck, and racing mechanics into a quick party experience.
Who Is This Game For?
Stella is suited for families and casual players aged 8 and up who enjoy creative deduction and communication. With a playing time around 30 minutes, it fits short game sessions. Prior experience with Dixit is helpful but not required. The game is designed as a light party game with easy-to-learn rules.
How It Works
Each round starts with a shared clue word that players use to associate Dixit cards laid out on the board. Players secretly mark chosen cards on their erasable personal slates. Matching cards with other players earns points, reflecting deduction and push-your-luck mechanics. Players who select unique cards may lose points. After four rounds, scores are tallied, and the player with the highest total wins the race to match others’ choices.
What Makes It Special

It won the 2022 Speelgoed van het Jaar Family Games (up to 12 years) award and received multiple nominations including the 2021 Golden Geek Best Party Game. Its mix of deduction, push your luck, and targeted clues sets it apart among Dixit spin-offs. Stella belongs to the Dixit family and centers on image interpretation.
