dixitOnline This is a web app implementation of the popular game Dixit . Basic Premise Using a deck of cards illustrated with dreamlike images, players select cards that match a title suggested by the storyteller , and attempt to guess which card the storyteller selected. Gameplay The storyteller One player is the storyteller for the turn. He selects one of the six cards in his hand . From this, he makes up a sentence and submits it to the other players. This sentence is referred to as the story . The Story The story can take different forms: it can be made of one or more words. The story can either be invented or be inspired from an existing work of art (poetry or song sample, movie title, proverb, etc). Card Selection The other players select one of their six cards that they think best matches the story made by the storyteller . The Vote All cards selected, including the storyteller 's, will be displayed in a random order for all players to see. The goal of the other players is to determine which card is from the storyteller. Each player (except the storyteller , of course) will now vote for which card they believe belongs to the storyteller . Players are prohibted from voting for their own card. Scoring If all players have voted for the storyteller 's card, or if none have, then the storyteller doesn't score any points and everyone else scores 2 points. In any other case, the storyteller scores 3 points and so do the players who voted for his card. Each player, other than the storyteller , scores one point for each vote their card recieved. End of Round Each player will be dealt a new card to bring their hand back to six. The role of storyteller will rotate to the next player in order. Game End The game ends after 10 rounds of play have been completed. The player(s) with the highest score total win! Tips If a story describes the card too precisely, all the players will easily find it, and thus the storyteller will not score any points. If a story describes the card too vaguely, it is quite likely that nobody will vote for the storyteller 's card, and again he will score no points. The challenge for the storyteller is to find a story that is neither too descriptive, nor too abstract. This allows for a chance that some, but not all players vote for it. At the beginning, this can be fairly hard to achieve, but you'll see that the inspiration comes more easily after a few rounds. APIs We used three APIs for this implementation. Firebase - Real Time Database Cloudinary Image Management Adorable.io avatars Libraries & Frameworks We used materialize framework for layout and simple visuals. For card, avatar, and scoring animations we used animate.css
