Game Glimpse #6: Craits

8Craits (sometimes spelled Crates or Creights) is a card game played by anywhere between two and five players. It was invented in the 1970s in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and is derived from Crazy Eights; in fact, the name Craits is derived from Crazy Eights itself. Craits is similar to the marketed game Uno, which has its own specialized deck, and many cards assume the functions of Uno’s specialized cards.

Game Glimpse #2: Dixit

DixitIn Dixit, each player takes a turn as a storyteller. On a given player’s turn, he or she selects a picture card from his or her hand. Then, that player says aloud a sentence or a word connected to his or her picture. Every other player then selects a picture from his or her own hand that most closely matches. All players then place their cards, face down, in the center. The cards are shuffled then revealed to all. Players finally have to choose whose card they think is the storyteller’s!
