Dixit
Dixit is a light-hearted party game that works brilliantly when played by a group of 5 or 6 creative people. It does not work so well with competitive, analytical types. Yes, there is scoring and a winner but this is a game where the spirit in which you play the game is more important than who won it.
The rules are quite straightforward. You are dealt a hand of 6 cards. The artwork on these cards is wonderful, somewhat whimsical, almost surreal. One of the players is nominated to be the 'Story Teller'. That person then chooses one of his cards and thinks up a clue about it. That clue can be anything, a single word, a sentence, a short story, even just a sound. The other players then look at their own cards and pick one for which the clue might also apply. The Story Teller then takes each player's chosen card, shuffles them up with his own and then lays them all down face up. Players then have to guess which card is the Story Teller's. This is where the skill of the Story Teller comes in. If the clue is too obvious, everyone will guess correctly and the Story Teller gets no points. If the clue is too obtuse and no one guesses correctly, again the Story Teller gets no points. After each round, there is inevitably a post-mortem discussion and then a new round begins with a different story teller.
Games take about 30 minutes.

Three options:
1) Postage by Royal Mail's Tracked 48 service which aims to deliver parcels in two working days. Our post office is shut on Mondays and Sundays, so we don't ship on those days.
2) Evri delivery to one of their parcel shops. Please use this service if you are not going to be in to meet the postie or you have not got a safe place for the postie to leave your parcel.
3) Pick up from our shop in Lyme Regis. Free but please give us a couple of hours after ordering before coming in.
We try to reuse as much packaging as possible. Your parcel will be securely packed but probably not very elegantly.
In theory, everything available to buy on this website is in stock. We are however a very small shop and we try to stock a huge range. This means that we will rarely have more than one or two of each toy or clothes size in stock. Occasionally though we do get orders and we can't find the items. Often it is my fault, having I made a mistake when checking goods on arrival into the shop or when stocktaking but sadly we are also noticing more items simply missing from the shelves.
So please accept our apologies if you order something and we can't fulfil your order. The website is set up so that we don't actually take your money until after we fulfil your order. You will not pay for anything we don't have.
